Classification of Beta blockers and the Mnemonics

Beta-blockers, also known as beta-adrenergic blocking agents, are medications that reduce your blood pressure. Beta-blockers work by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. Beta-blockers cause your heart to beat more slowly and with less force, which lowers blood pressure. Beta-blockers also help open up your veins and arteries to improve blood flow. Examples of beta-blockers Some beta-blockers mainly affect your heart, while others affect both your heart and your blood vessels. Your doctor will choose which beta-blocker is best for you based on your health conditions. Examples of beta-blockers taken by mouth include: Acebutolol (Sectral) Atenolol (Tenormin) Bisoprolol (Zebeta) Metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL) Nadolol (Corgard) Nebivolol (Bystolic) Propranolol (Inderal, InnoPran XL)SUBSCRIBE, LIKE and SHARE Check our website for more medical lecture notes at https://medcrine.com Follow us on twitter @medcrine Facebook at www.fb.me/medcrine Pinterest at pinterest.com/medcrine Telegram at t.me/medcrine email us on info@medcrine.com
