CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
GENERAL
Propranolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent
possessing no
other autonomic nervous system activity. It specifically competes with
beta-adrenergic
receptor agonist agents for available receptor sites. When access to
beta-receptor sites
is blocked by propranolol, the chronotropic, inotropic, and
vasodilator responses to
beta-adrenergic stimulation are decreased proportionately. At dosages
greater than
required for beta blockade, propranolol also exerts a quinidine-like
or anesthetic-like
membrane action, which affects the cardiac action potential. The
significance of the
membrane action in the treatment of arrhythmias is uncertain.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of propranolol has not
been established.
Factors that may contribute to the antihypertensive action include:
(1) decreased
cardiac output, (2) inhibition of renin release by the kidneys, and
(3) diminution of tonic
sympathetic nerve outflow from vasomotor centers i
