receptors are called alpha-adrenoreceptors, and the drugs are therefore called alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists. Examples of specific drugs in this group are methoxamine, tetrahydralazine and clonidine. Possible side effects of this group of drugs include abnormal heartbeat, headache and fluid retention....

Vasoconstrictor drugs, which are also called vasopressors, are split into two major groups, which are the vasopressin analogs and the alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists. In a person with a healthy circulatory system, the heart pumps blood through veins and arteries in a heartbeat pattern, which ...
not many of us know exactly which one of our many enzymes is responsible for breaking down the medicines we take routinely, and scientists are still studying the possible effects and reactions that can occur when CBD and prescription drugs are combined. ...
norepinephrine.and guanabenz are alpha 2 receptor agonists that produce the same effect as epinephrine and norepinephrine by inhibiting the adenylyl cyclase component of the receptor. Drugs that block the effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine on alpha 1 and alpha 2 receptors include alfuzosin and ...
Blood eosinophil levels are affected by several factors including allergic diseases, parasitic infections, dermatosis, autoimmune diseases, myeloproliferative malignancies, hypereosinophilic diseases such as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and drugs [i.e., ...
Applying novel trial designs, targeting of pre-symptomatic disease stages, and the acknowledgment of PD heterogeneity raise hopes to overcome past failures in the development of drugs for disease modification. In this review, we address these recent developments and venture a glimpse into the future ...
