2. Atenolol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atenolol

   Atenolol is classified as a beta blocker with low lipophilicity and hence lower potential for crossing the blood–brain barrier and entering the brain. [44] This in turn may result in fewer effects in the central nervous system as well as a lower risk of neuropsychiatric side effects. [44] Only small amounts of atenolol are said to enter the ...

3. Antihypertensive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antihypertensive

   The choice between the drugs is to a large degree determined by the characteristics of the patient being prescribed for, the drugs' side effects, and cost. Most drugs have other uses; sometimes the presence of other symptoms can warrant the use of one particular antihypertensive. Examples include: Age can affect the choice of medications.

4. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

   Therefore, blocking β 2-adrenoceptors lowers plasma glucose. β 1-blockers have fewer metabolic side effects in diabetic patients; however, the fast heart rate that serves as a warning sign for insulin-induced low blood sugar may be masked, resulting in hypoglycemia unawareness. This is termed beta blocker-induced hypoglycemia unawareness ...

5. Adrenergic blocking agent - Wikipedia

   However, the serotonin receptor antagonism has side effects such as weight gain and impaired movement. [11] Hence, alpha-2 blockers are not used clinically due to its extensive binding. Similar to the alpha-1 blocker, the alpha-2 family will also present the first-dose effect , but it is generally less pronounced compared with the alpha-1 blockers.

6. Adrenergic neuron blockers - Wikipedia

   Regarding non-cardiac side effects, they can cause nausea, headache, fatigue, dry mouth, and dry eyes. [4] In rare cases, confusion , memory loss , and sexual dysfunction are reported. [ 12 ] Additionally, beta 1 blockers can mask hypoglycaemia-induced tachycardia in diabetic patients, potentially leading to hypoglycaemic unawareness and ...

7. Metoprolol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metoprolol

   Metoprolol is a beta blocker, or an antagonist of the β-adrenergic receptors. It is specifically a selective antagonist of the β 1-adrenergic receptor and has no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. [37] Metoprolol exerts its effects by blocking the action of certain neurotransmitters, specifically adrenaline and noradrenaline.

8. Sympatholytic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympatholytic

   A sympatholytic (sympathoplegic) drug is a medication that opposes the downstream effects of postganglionic nerve firing in effector organs innervated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). [1] They are indicated for various functions; for example, they may be used as antihypertensives .

   These side effects are serious and some of them are permanent, and many remain a crucial concern for companies and healthcare professionals and substantial efforts are being encouraged to reduce the potential risks for future antipsychotics through more clinical trials and drug development.
