Hi Asmi ! could u plz tell the Alpha blockers' overdosage treatment, thanks !

  #4

Depends...no antidote for phenoxybenzamine, i would think, since it is non-competitive. For Phentolamine, etc, I would imagine that it would be low-dose NE?

I don't know how they treat alpha blocker OD ,,thats why i posted it.

I agree with Idiopathic-according to Lippincott the rank order of potency
for alpha receptors is [Epi greater then or equal to to Norepi and Norepi is much greater then Isoproterenol]

Yohimbine-alpha2 block
Clonidine-alpha2 agonist(dual action)
