Question 5

Question
Beta blockers MOA:
Answer
  • Competitively inhibiting catecholamines from binding to these receptors.
  • Dilate veins, arteries, and coronary arteries by relaxing vascular smooth muscle

Why is important to know which BB are eliminated by hepatic metabolism and more lipid soluble?
Answer
  • Enter CNS in high concentrations, possibly resulting in an increased incidence of CNS side effects

Question
Atenolol and sotalol are more water soluble and are eliminated unchanged by the kidney. What is the effect of this on plasma half-lives & bioavailability?
