  2. Vasoconstriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasoconstriction

    The extent of vasoconstriction may be slight or severe depending on the substance or circumstance. Many vasoconstrictors also cause pupil dilation. Medications that cause vasoconstriction include: antihistamines, decongestants, and stimulants. Severe vasoconstriction may result in symptoms of intermittent claudication. [1]

  3. Methamphetamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methamphetamine

    Methamphetamine is a sympathomimetic drug that causes vasoconstriction and tachycardia. Methamphetamine also promotes abnormal extra heart beats and irregular heart rhythms some of which may be life-threatening. [42]

  5. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

    Since β 2 adrenergic receptors can cause vascular smooth muscle dilation, beta blockers may cause some vasoconstriction. However, this effect tends to be small because the activity of β 2 receptors is overshadowed by the more dominant vasoconstricting α 1 receptors.

  6. Tyramine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyramine

    Tyramine is considered a "false neurotransmitter", as it enters noradrenergic nerve terminals and displaces large amounts of norepinephrine, which enters the blood stream and causes vasoconstriction. Additionally, cocaine has been found to block blood pressure rise that is originally attributed to tyramine, which is explained by the blocking of ...

  7. Antihemorrhagic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antihemorrhagic

    Anhydrous aluminium sulfate is the main ingredient and acts as a vasoconstrictor in order to disable blood flow. The stick is applied directly to the bleeding site. The high ionic strength promotes flocculation of the blood, and the astringent chemical causes local vasoconstriction

  8. Vasodilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilation

    Endogenous substances and drugs that cause vasodilation are termed vasodilators. Many of these substances are neurotransmitters released by perivascular nerves of the autonomic nervous system [6] Baroreceptors sense blood pressure and allow adaptation via the mechanisms of vasoconstriction or vasodilation to maintain homeostasis. [2]

  9. Triptan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptan

    vasoconstriction of pain producing intra cranial extracerebral vessels by a direct effect on vascular smooth muscle. Sumatriptan and rizatriptan have been shown to cause vasoconstriction in the human middle meningeal arteries. inhibition of vasoactive neuropeptide release by trigeminal terminals innervating intracranial vessels and the dura mater.
