Episode description

Welcome all to IS PHARMACOLOGY DIFFICULT Podcast! I am Dr Radhika Vijay.


In this episode, I will be talking about very Selective- "ALPHA 1 RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS", like Prazosin, Terazosin and Doxazosin.



 Prazosin is the prototype drug and there is so much to talk about it- Extent of selectivity, its action, effect, pharmacokinetic profile, adverse effects and metabolic effects.


Next in the list are Terazosin and Doxazosin, they are too discussed heartily and while comparing them with Prazosin, a good amount of light is thrown on their profile.


I will be discussing uses of these agents especially in states of BPH, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia!


In the end, one liner about Tamsulosin & one liner revision advise will keep up the spirits till I knock back with next bunch of tales about left over Alpha 1 Receptor blockers like Tamsulosin, Alfuzosin and Silodosin. Chao till then!!
