Antiadrenergic Drugs Notes in Hindi | Alpha & Beta Adrenergic Blocking Drugs Classification, Receptors, Mechanism of Action, Uses, Side Effects, Contraindications, Generation-wise Classification
💊 Antiadrenergic Drugs (Adrenergic Blocking Drugs) —
🌟 Introduction
🔹 “Adrenergic” drugs = वे drugs जो Adrenaline/Noradrenaline की तरह काम करती हैं।
🔹 “Antiadrenergic” drugs = वे drugs जो sympathetic nervous system के effects को रोकती हैं।
📌 इसलिए इन्हें कहते हैं: 🔸 Adrenergic blockers
🔸 Sympatholytic drugs
🔸 Adrenoceptor antagonists
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 Sympathetic Nervous System पहले समझो
जब body stress, fear, emergency या exercise में होती है तब adrenal medulla से: ⚡ Adrenaline
⚡ Noradrenaline
release होते हैं।
इनका काम: ❤️ Heart fast करना
🩸 BP बढ़ाना
🫁 Lungs खोलना
👁 Pupil enlarge करना
🍬 Blood glucose बढ़ाना
👉 इसे कहते हैं: ⚡ “Fight or Flight Response”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
❓ Antiadrenergic Drugs क्यों दी जाती हैं?
कई diseases में sympathetic system overactive हो जाता है।
जैसे: 🩸 Hypertension
❤️ Tachycardia
❤️ Angina
🧠 Anxiety
🚽 BPH
इसलिए हमें adrenaline effects कम करने पड़ते हैं।
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 Adrenergic Receptors Deep Concept
🔴 ALPHA RECEPTORS
🔶 α1 Receptor
📍 Location: 🩸 Blood vessels
👁 Eye radial muscle
🚽 Urinary sphincter
🧠 Prostate
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ α1 Activation होने पर
🩸 Blood vessels constrict होते हैं
❓ क्यों? 👉 α1 stimulation smooth muscle contraction कराता है।
Result: 🩸 Vessel narrow → BP ↑
👁 Eye में pupil dilate होती है
❓ क्यों? 👉 Radial muscle contract करता है।
🚽 Urine retention होता है
❓ क्यों? 👉 Urinary sphincter contract होता है।
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔥 α1 Block करने पर क्या होगा?
📌 Opposite effects होंगे
🩸 Vasodilation
👉 BP ↓
🚽 Urination easy
👉 Prostate relax
👁 Pupil constrict
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔶 α2 Receptor
📍 Presynaptic nerve endings
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ α2 Activation
📌 Noradrenaline release कम
❓ क्यों? 👉 यह negative feedback receptor है।
Body कहती है: “अब बहुत adrenaline बन गया।”
तो α2 receptor release कम कर देता है।
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ α2 Block होने पर
📌 Sympathetic activity ↑
👉 इसलिए α2 blockers ज्यादा useful नहीं हैं।
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔵 BETA RECEPTORS
🔷 β1 Receptor
📍 Location: ❤️ Heart
🩺 Kidney
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ β1 Activation
❤️ Heart rate ↑
❤️ Force of contraction ↑
❓ क्यों? 👉 β1 receptor cAMP बढ़ाता है → calcium entry ↑ → contraction ↑
🩺 Kidney में renin release ↑
👉 BP बढ़ता है
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔥 β1 Block होने पर
❤️ Heart slow
❤️ Oxygen demand कम
🩺 Renin कम
👉 इसलिए hypertension + angina में useful
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔷 β2 Receptor
📍 Location: 🫁 Bronchi
🤰 Uterus
🩸 Blood vessels
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ β2 Activation
🫁 Bronchodilation
❓ क्यों? 👉 Bronchial smooth muscle relax होता है।
🤰 Uterus relaxation
👉 Premature labor रोकने में β2 agonists useful
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔥 β2 Block होने पर
🫁 Bronchoconstriction
⚠ इसलिए asthma patients में dangerous
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔷 β3 Receptor
📍 Fat tissue
📍 Urinary bladder
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ β3 Activation
🔥 Lipolysis ↑
🚽 Bladder relax
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟥 ALPHA BLOCKERS
🌟 Classification
1️⃣ Nonselective Alpha Blockers
🔸 Phenoxybenzamine
🔸 Phentolamine
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔥 Phenoxybenzamine
📌 Nonselective irreversible α blocker
📌 Mechanism
α1 + α2 irreversible block
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
❓ Irreversible क्यों important?
👉 Adrenaline ज्यादा हो तब भी receptor काम नहीं करेगा।
इसलिए: ✅ Pheochromocytoma में best
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
❓ Pheochromocytoma क्या?
Adrenal gland tumor
जो बहुत adrenaline बनाता है।
Symptoms: ⚡ Severe HTN
⚡ Sweating
⚡ Tachycardia
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ Side Effects
❤️ Reflex Tachycardia
❓ क्यों? 👉 BP suddenly कम → body compensate करके HR बढ़ाती है।
💫 Postural Hypotension
❓ क्यों? 👉 Standing पर vessels constrict नहीं कर पाते।
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔥 Phentolamine
📌 Competitive reversible blocker
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 Uses
✅ Hypertensive crisis
✅ Catecholamine excess
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌟 Selective α1 Blockers
🔸 Prazosin
🔸 Tamsulosin
🔸 Doxazosin
🔸 Terazosin
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔥 Prazosin Deep Concept
📌 Selective α1 blocker
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
❓ BP कैसे कम करता है?
👉 α1 block
→ vessels relax
→ peripheral resistance ↓
→ BP ↓
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
❓ Reflex tachycardia कम क्यों?
👉 α2 receptor intact रहता है।
इसलिए noradrenaline control में रहता है।
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠ First Dose Phenomenon
📌 Severe hypotension after first dose
❓ क्यों? 👉 Body अचानक vasodilation के लिए prepared नहीं रहती।
इसलिए: ⚡ First dose रात में देते हैं।
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚽 Tamsulosin
📌 Highly selective α1A blocker
📍 α1A mainly prostate में
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
❓ BPH में कैसे मदद?
👉 Prostate smooth muscle relax
