Scope note

  • Drugs that bind to but do not activate alpha-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of endogenous or exogenous adrenergic agonists. Adrenergic alpha-antagonists are used in the treatment of hypertension, vasospasm, peripheral vascular disease, shock, and pheochromocytoma.

History note

  • 95; was ADRENERGIC ALPHA RECEPTOR BLOCKADERS 1969-94 (Prov 1969-72)
