Ethylnorepinephrine

Ethylnorepinephrine is a cardiovascular drug that is used to treat hypotension and shock. It is a synthetic catecholamine and vasopressor.

Pharmacology

Ethylnorepinephrine functions by stimulating adrenergic receptors, which results in vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure. It is a non-selective adrenergic agonist, meaning it stimulates all types of adrenergic receptors.

Uses

Ethylnorepinephrine is used to treat hypotension and shock. It can also be used in the treatment of certain types of cardiac arrest.

Side Effects

Like all drugs, ethylnorepinephrine can have side effects. These can include palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, and hypertension. In rare cases, it can cause myocardial infarction or cerebral hemorrhage.

Contraindications

Ethylnorepinephrine should not be used in patients with hypertensive crisis, pheochromocytoma, or ventricular fibrillation. It should also be used with caution in patients with coronary artery disease or hyperthyroidism.
