Carbapenems can only be given through an intravenous drip, which usually does not cause irritation at the injection site. If you have a severe allergy to penicillin, you generally should not be given a carbapenem. However, many patients with a mild or moderate allergy can tolerate carbapenems.
Alpha-1 adrenergic agonists. Alpha-1 adrenergic agonists stimulate alpha-1 receptors coupled to G proteins and phospholipase C. They can be classified in two groups: those which do not cross the blood-brain barrier and have peripheral effects and those which penetrate into the brain and have mainly central effects. Alpha-1 agonists with peripheral effects.
Agonists often mimic the action of a naturally occurring substance. Whereas an agonist causes an action, an antagonist blocks the action of the agonist and an inverse agonist causes an action opposite to that of the agonist.gonists often mimic the action of a naturally occurring substance.
