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.
An adrenergic alpha-agonist (or alpha-adrenergic agonists) are a class sympathomimetic agents that selectively stimulates alpha adrenergic receptors. The alpha-adrenergic receptor has two subclasses Î± 1 and Î± 2. Alpha 2 receptors are associated with sympatholytic properties.Î± Adrenergic agonists have the opposite function of alpha blockers.Alpha adrenoreceptor ligands mimic the action of epinephrine and norepinephrine signaling in the heart, smooth muscle and central nervous system, with norepinephrine being the highest affinity.
