– Tip Gal p. 46 - dopamine
MOA of each meds
Plus Indication
– Tip Gal p. 46
MOA: block dopamine receptor in the CNS, including the chemoreceptor trigger zone.

1st gen antipsychotic: Haloperidol (MOA: mainly blocks D2 w/ 5-HT2A.
- Indication: CINV
Tip Gal p. 46
Class: (2)
MOA (2)
Tip Gal p. 46
Pilocarpine: Class: Cholinergic (Miotics): increase aqueous humor outflow
bethanechol: Class: Cholinergic (Miotics): acts on M3 receptors:
MOA: improves bladder smooth muscles: To promote emptying of the urinary bladder
Tip Gal p. 46 - nicotinic
- main location?
Tip Gal p. 46
- Location: Nm = on skeletal muscles
Tip Gal p. 46 - alpha 1
- main location?
- location: Smooth muscles, including blood vessels
MOA: ↑ Vasoconstriction = ↑ BP
Phenylephrine: alpha-1 agonist
dopamine: alpha-1 agonist; High dose: 10-20 mcg/kg/min
Tip Gal p. 46 - alpha 2
- main location?
Tip Gal p. 46
- location: Brains & CNS --> sends signal to --> PNS [Voluntary: somatic (muscle), Involuntary: Autonomic (GI & Cardiovascular)]
↓BP (means ↑vasodilation)
Brimonidine: MOA: increase aqueous humor outflow, reduce aqueous humor production.
Tip Gal p. 46 - beta 1
- main location?
Tip Gal p. 46
- location: Heart muscle
Dobutamine: class: Inotropes; increase the contractility. MOA: beta-1 agonist
Isoproterenol: is a mixed beta-1 and beta-2 agonist; indication: bradycardia and causes bronchodilation.
dopamine: beta-1 agonist; Medium dose: 5-10 mcg/kg/min
Tip Gal p. 46 - beta 2
- main location?
Tip Gal p. 46
- Location: Lung; smooth muscle relaxation (bronchioles opens up alveoli to allow gas exchange between O2 & CO2
Isoproterenol: is a mixed beta-1 and beta-2 agonist; indication: bradycardia and causes bronchodilation.
Terbutaline is a beta-2 agonist used in acute, severe asthma exacerbations.
Triptan's MOA: 5-HT1 agonist; they vasoconstrict cranial blood vessels, ↓ migraine pain
– Tip Gal p. 46 & pdf p. 683
Low (renal) dose: Dopamine-1 agonist = renal (kidneys): 1-4 mcg/kg/min
Medium dose: beta-1 agonist = Heart muscle: 5-10 mcg/kg/min:
High dose: Alpha-1 agonist = Blood vessel: 10-20 mcg/kg/min
MOA: Penetrates the blood brain barrier (BBB) to lower Parkinson's disease symptoms.
Levodopa: [prodrug (precursor) of Dopamine]
pramipexole: Dopamine agonist
– Tip Gal p. 46
MOA: (2)
– Tip Gal p. 46
antimuscarinic/anticholinergic: urinary incontinence & memory impairment
Oxybutynin: block acetylcholine, causes urinary incontinence b/c limits (lowers) contractions of the detrusor muscle.
Atropine: PPX/Tx: acute diarrhea b/c anticholinergic effects
– Tip Gal p. 46
- Location: Nm = on skeletal muscles
– Tip Gal p. 46
- location: Smooth muscles, including blood vessels
- ↑ vasodilation to ↓ BP
