Common side effects of tizanidine include dry mouth, sleepiness, weakness, and dizziness. [5] Serious side effects may include low blood pressure, liver problems, psychosis, and QT prolongation. [5] It is unclear if use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is safe. [6] It is an α 2-adrenergic agonist, but how it works is not entirely clear. [5]
Atenolol is a beta blocker medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure and heart-associated chest pain. [7] Although used to treat high blood pressure, it does not seem to improve mortality in those with the condition. [8] [9] Other uses include the prevention of migraines and treatment of certain irregular heart beats.
Atenolol/chlorthalidone, also known as co-tenidone, is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure. [2] [3] It is made up of atenolol, a beta-blocker and chlortalidone, a diuretic. [4] It is not recommended as an initial treatment but may be used in those who are taking atenolol and chlortalidone individually. [5] It is taken by ...
Common side effects include sleepiness, constipation, and dry mouth. [10] Other side effects may include low blood pressure and urinary problems. [11] It appears to work by activating α 2A-adrenergic receptors in the brain, thereby decreasing sympathetic nervous system activity. [10] Guanfacine was first described by 1974 [12] and was approved ...
Alpha-adrenergic antagonists are also used for treatment of ureteric stones, pain and panic disorders, withdrawal, and anesthesia. [18] [2] Adrenergic antagonists are used to treat acute cardiovascular toxicity (e.g. in overdose) caused by sympathomimetics, for instance caused by amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, ephedrine, and other drugs ...
Flunarizine is a selective calcium antagonist with moderate other actions including antihistamine, serotonin receptor blocking and dopamine D 2 blocking activity. Compared to other calcium channel blockers such as dihydropyridine derivatives, verapamil and diltiazem, flunarizine has low affinity to voltage-dependent calcium channels.
But some research has noted rare but serious side effects of once-weekly, 2.4-milligram (mg) semaglutide injections, such as pancreatitis, acute kidney injury, gallbladder issues, and thyroid cancer.
Rilmenidine, an oxazoline compound with antihypertensive properties, acts on both medullary and peripheral vasomotor structures.. Rilmenidine is a imidazoline analog and shows greater selectivity for imidazoline receptors than for cerebral alpha2-adrenergic receptors, distinguishing it from reference alpha2-agonists, and conferring additional anti-inflammatory actions not shared with most ...
