These receptors are located in vascular tissues (vessels). Activation causes vasoconstriction.
What is Alpha 1.
300
This vasodilatory medication relaxes smooth muscles, primarily dilates the venous system, reduces preload, increases myocardial oxygen supply, treats angina, CHF, and HTN.
What is Nitroglycerin?
300
This antihypertensive medication causes cyanide toxicity.
What is nitroprusside (Nipride)?
