Beta-blockers are used in the preoperative management of hypertension caused by a pheochromocytoma, which results in elevated circulating catecholamines
Pharmacy and Therapeutics Beta blockers are classified according to the receptors they block
Objectives: Summarize the mechanism of action of the beta-blocker class of medications, including the difference between selective

5 mg/day, nebivolol significantly lowered heart rate compared to placebo
OVERVIEW The beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists (beta-blockers) are a family of agents that are widely used to treat hypertension, angina pectoris and cardiac arrhythmias

One compared cardioselective beta-blockers to non-selective beta-blockers (and presented odds ratios [OR]) Furthermore, our report extends to incorporate a lack of effect on FEV1 of non-selective beta-blockers such as carvedilol and labetalol
Methods
Carvedilol and labetalol: Both of these can also block some alpha-receptors
The non‐selective beta blockers propranolol, timolol and pindolol are effective at all beta‐adrenergic sites in the body, whereas other beta blockers, such as atenolol and metoprolol, are selective for the heart
Beta blockers, also spelled β-blockers, are a class of medications that are predominantly used to manage abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia), and to protect the heart from a second heart attack after a first heart attack (secondary prevention)
Labetalol hydrochloride is an adrenergic receptor blocking agent that has both selective alpha 1 - and nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor blocking actions in a single substance
¶ Duration of hypotensive effect, in general, is longer than may be predicted by serum half-life
Mental depression manifested by insomnia, lassitude, weakness, fatigue; sexual dysfunction in men
Although cardioselective β 1-blockers may be safer than non-selective β-blockers, they remain relatively contraindicated and under
They are advocated as a first-line treatment for uncomplicated essential hypertension in patients younger than 60 years of Is labetalol a Cardioselective beta blocker? 1 The effects of atenolol (100 mg), a cardioselective beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, and labetalol (300 mg), a combined alpha- and non-selective beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent given in single doses were examined in a double-blind placebo controlled study in 11 asthmatic patients with
Examples include carvedilol (Coreg) and labetalol
Since they don't affect beta-2 receptors in blood vessels and the lungs, cardioselective beta blockers are safer for people with lung disorders

(IFIS) has been observed during cataract surgery in some patients treated with alpha-1 blockers (labetalol is an alpha/beta blocker)

The RR isomer has about 2-4 times the beta-adrenergic blocking activity of the racemic mixture but has only minimal alpha1-adrenergic blocking activity; most of the alpha1-adrenergic blocking
