Description

Drugs that inhibit the actions of the sympathetic nervous system by any mechanism. The most common of these are the ADRENERGIC ANTAGONISTS and drugs that deplete norepinephrine or reduce the release of transmitters from adrenergic postganglionic terminals (see ADRENERGIC AGENTS). Drugs that act in the central nervous system to reduce sympathetic activity (e.g., centrally acting alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, see ADRENERGIC ALPHA-AGONISTS) are included here.

Drugs
DrugDrug Description
BetaxololA cardioselective beta blocking agent commonly used to treat hypertension and elevated intraocular pressure (when administered ophthalmically).
BethanidineFor the treatment of hypertension.
AtenololA synthetic beta-1 selective blocker used in the management of hypertension and chronic angina, and to reduce mortality in known or suspected myocardial infarction in hemodynamically stable patients.
SotalolA methane sulfonanilide beta adrenergic antagonist used to treat life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and to maintain sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation or flutter.
CarteololA beta adrenergic antagonist used to treat arrhythmia, angina, hypertension, and glaucoma.
ClonidineAn alpha-2 adrenergic agonist used to treat hypertension and severe cancer pain, among other conditions, and to treat withdrawal symptoms from various substances. It is also used to aid in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and to prevent migraines.
BisoprololA beta-1 adrenergic blocking agent used to prevent myocardial infarction and heart failure and to treat mild to moderate hypertension.
AlprenololFor the treatment of hypertension, angina, and arrhythmia
MethyldopaA centrally-acting alpha-2 adrenergic agonist used to manage hypertension alone or in combination with hydrochlorothiazide, and to treat hypertensive crises.
GuanethidineAn antihypertensive agent used in the management of moderate and severe hypertension, either alone or as an adjunct, and for the management of renal hypertension.
NadololA non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist used for the management of arrhythmias, angina pectoris, and hypertension.
LevobunololA beta-adrenergic antagonist used for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.
MetipranololA beta-adrenergic antagonist used for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.
OxprenololA non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist used to treat hypertension, angina pectoris, arrhythmias, and anxiety.
DebrisoquineFor the treatment of moderate and severe hypertension, either alone or as an adjunct, and for the treatment of renal hypertension.
MoxisylyteBy the WHO, moxisylyte is indicated for the symptomatic management of sequelae of cerebral infarction or hemorrhage. The cerebral infarction is characterized by the blockage of the artery either by...
MoxonidineAn imidazoline/α-2 receptor agonist used to treat hypertension, especially in cases where ACE inhibitors, β-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and thiazides are not appropriate or provide inadequate blood pressure control.
RilmenidineAn I1-imidazoline receptor agonist used to treat hypertension.
