Definition
English
:
Drugs that inhibit the actions of the
sympathetic nervous system
by any mechanism. The most common of these are the
ADRENERGIC ANTAGONISTS
and drugs that deplete
norepinephrine
or reduce the release of transmitters from adrenergic postganglionic terminals (see
ADRENERGIC AGENTS
). Drugs that act in the
central nervous system
to reduce sympathetic activity (e.g., centrally acting alpha-2
adrenergic agonists
, see
ADRENERGIC ALPHA-AGONISTS
) are included here.
