Noelle,

Take anaphylactic shock - if the patient takes Beta blockers, the medical textbooks recommend you to give glucagon, not adrenaline as the first drug :?: . Why :roll: ?. If there is some logic behind that :? , it means that the DOC in beta blocker poisoning must be glucagon :roll: ?

Glucagon, it reverses B blocking effect on heart.

in case of beta blocker poising adrenergic receptors are already occupied by the drug so where did the epi or nor epi work, reason to give glucagon is that they work on the seprate glucagon receptor and have positive inotropic anc chronotropic effects.

Hey Noelle,
I think it is glucagon. Well I was thinking on miky's point but couldn't figure it out. It is really nonsense. Can anybody explain this to me.

glucagon is the answer :lol:
