Drug interactions and beta blockers.

Beta-adrenergic receptor blockers. Adverse effects and drug interactions.

Adverse effects of beta-adrenergic receptor blocking drugs can be divided into two categories: 1) those that result from known pharmacological consequences of beta-adrenergic receptor blockade; and 2) other reactions that do not appear to result from beta-adrenergic receptor blockade. Adverse effects of the first type include bronchospasm, heart failure, prolonged hypoglycemia, bradycardia, hea...

164-2013: Using PROC GENMOD to Investigate Drug Interactions: Beta Blockers and Beta Agonists and Their Effect on Hospital Admissions

Every year, more than half a million adverse reactions to drugs are reported to the FDA. This paper is a real-world, large-scale review of beta blockers and beta agonist usage. We use New York City public hospitals’ records to investigate whether interactions of beta blockers and beta agonists are associated with increased hospital inpatient admissions, a common indicator of health care quality...

Management of drug interactions with beta-blockers: continuing education has a short-term impact

UNLABELLED There is a lack of clear guidelines regarding the management of drug-drug interactions. OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of an educational intervention on the management of drug interactions with beta-blockers. METHODS The study had a controlled before-and-after design. The intervention group (n=10 pharmacies) received a continuing education course and guidelines on the management ...

3-Adrenergic Receptor Blockers Adverse Effects and Drug Interactions

Adverse effects of /3-adrenergic receptor blocking drugs can be divided into two categories: 1) those that result from known pharmacological consequences of /3-adrenergic receptor blockade; and 2) other reactions that do not appear to result from /3-adrenergic receptor blockade. Adverse effects of the first type include bronchospasm, heart failure, prolonged hypoglycemia, bradycardia, heart blo...
