	Sympathomimetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sympathomimetics are a class of drugs whose properties mimic those of a stimulated sympathetic nervous system.
		Sympathomimetics include the naturally occurring substances adrenaline (epinephrine), noradrenaline (norepinephrine), and other catecholamines such as dopamine, as well as the synthetic drugs pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine, and phenylpropanolamine.
		In medicine, they are commonly prescribed in cardiac emergencies including shock and anaphylaxis, in some cases for weight loss, and in cold remedies, where they shrink swollen membranes in the upper respiratory tract.

		Sympathomimetic amines are contraindicated in patients with severe hypertension, severe coronary artery disease and patients on monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor therapy.
		Sympathomimetic amines should be used judiciously and sparingly in patients with hypertension, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, hyperthyroidism, increased intraocular pressure, and prostatic hypertrophy.
		Sympathomimetic amines have been associated with certain untoward reactions including fear, anxiety, tenseness, restlessness, tremor, weakness, pallor, respiratory difficulty, dysuria, insomnia, hallucinations, convulsions, CNS depression, arrythmias, and cardiovascular collapse with hypotension.

		In most cases, clinical poisoning by one sympathomimetic agent is indistinguishable from that of a second sympathomimetic agent with a different mechanism of action.
		Some of the illegal sympathomimetic agents are more commonly abused by the inhalational route (eg, crack cocaine, methamphetamine) or the IV route (eg, cocaine, methamphetamine, methcathinone) than by the oral route.
		Sympathomimetic toxicity is frequently associated with significant agitation, thus necessitating the use of physical restraints and chemical sedation.

		Amphetamine is an indirectly acting sympathomimetic which causes release of NE from adrenergic nerve endings, and also blocks its reuptake into the cytoplasm of the nerve terminal.
		Its spectrum of effects is similar to EPI, another sympathomimetic with both alpha and beta agonist effects, however it has a longer duration of effect.

	GCÐMS Identification of Sympathomimetic Amine Drugs in Urine: Rapid Methodology Applicable for (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A method was developed that permitted rapid identification in urine of the following sympathomimetic amines: amphetamine, benzphetamine, cathinone, desmethylsegiline, diethylpropion, ephedrine, fenfluramine, mazindol, methylenedioxyamphetamine, methylenedioxyethylamphetamine, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, mescaline, methamphetamine, methcathinone, methylaminorex, methylphenidate, pemoline, phendimetrazine, phenylepherine, phentermine, phenylpropanolamine, pseudoephedrine, and selegiline.
		Those sympathomimetic amines containing a primary or secondary amine, a hydrazine, and/or hydroxyl (except mazindol) functional groups were derivatized effectively using an on-column derivatization technique that used a reagent consisting of 10% fluoroanhydride in hexane, whereas the other sympathomimetic amines, including mazindol, were analyzed underivatized.
		Fragmentation ion abundance was maximized at an injection-port temperature of 260°C, and this enhanced sensitivity coupled with the better chromatographic resolution of the individual sympathomimetic amines prompted the selection of HFBA as the derivatizing agent of choice.

		The classic effects of a sympathomimetic are increase in cardiac output and vasoconstriction which together cause an increase in blood pressure.
		The term sympathomimetic carries connotations that alert physicians to a spectrum of safety issues including abuse potential, insomnia, and cardiovascular actions.
		This has significant implications for the safety of SIBUT and potential long-term changes in sympathetic tone with regional specificity, the sort of phenomenon that may underlie primary pulmonary hypertension and irregular perfusion of the heart by carotid arteries.

		In order for "indirect" acting amines such as tyramine to exert their effects, they must first be taken up by the monoamine reuptake system and then release norepinephrine from storage granules.
		These agents produce a physiologic response that is similar to the response produced by exogenous norepinephrine ("sympathomimetic").
		Tyramine is an indirect sympathomimetic which works by releasing endogenous catecholamines from nerve endings.

		All of these stimulants belong in the class sympathomimetic amines, a potentially dangerous and addictive class of drugs similar in structure and actions to amphetamines.
		Sympathomimetic amines are a class of drugs that imitate the actions of the sympathetic nervous system (Crimson and Jermain, 1993, Knoben and Anderson, 1988).
		Most side effects and risks of sympathomimetic amines are tied to abnormally high or chronic stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system.

		The answer is C. The sympathomimetic agents produce vasoconstriction in the smooth muscle, in blood vessels supplying skin and mucous membranes, also on salivary and certain sweat glands (alpha-1).
		The answer is B. The SYMPATHOMIMETIC effect on the heart (beta-1) is an increase in both rate and force of contraction.
		Many sympathomimetic agents stimulate alpha receptors as well as beta receptors rising the possibilities of further modification of the apparent responses.

		Data for other combinations of SSRI and sympathomimetic agent are not available.
		Additionally, some sympathomimetic agents like fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine (no longer commercially marketed) may possess serotonergic activity and should generally not be administered with SSRIs because of the additive risk of serotonin syndrome, which is a rare but serious and potentially fatal condition thought to result from hyperstimulation of brainstem 5HT1A receptors.

		For intracavernous injection of a sympathomimetic agent, the Panel recommends use of phenylephrine because this agent minimizes the risk of cardiovascular side effects that are more common for other sympathomimetic medications.
		During and following intracavernous injection of sympathomimetic drugs, the physician should observe patients for subjective symptoms and objective findings consistent with known undesirable effects of these agents: acute hypertension, headache, reflex bradycardia, tachycardia, palpitations, and cardiac arrhythmia.
		Aspiration with or without injection of sympathomimetic agents is not recommended as treatment.
