Adrenergic beta-Antagonists
- Name
- Adrenergic beta-Antagonists
- Accession Number
- DBCAT000456 (DBCAT002187)
- Description
Drugs that bind to but do not activate beta-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of beta-adrenergic agonists. Adrenergic beta-antagonists are used for treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, glaucoma, migraine headaches, and anxiety.
