Peripheral Adrenolytics

"Peripheral Adrenolytics" is an obsolete pharmacologic term corresponding to modern peripherally acting antiadrenergic agents, which encompass peripheral alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonists and postganglionic adrenergic neuron blockers These agents function in the peripheral nervous system by directly antagonizing alpha-adrenoceptors or inhibiting peripheral norepinephrine release, thereby blocking sympathetic vasoconstriction and lowering systemic vascular resistance
