| Drug Name | Alfuzosin | Methylphenobarbital | |||||||
| Mechanism 1 |
Antihypertensive agent Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor Antagonist |
Antihypertensive agent | |||||||
| Key Mechanism Factor 1 | |||||||||
| Factor Name | Adrenergic receptor alpha-1 | Structure Sequence | |||||||
| Protein Family | G-protein coupled receptor 1 family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
This alpha-adrenergic receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its effect is mediated by G(q) and G(11) proteins. Nuclear ADRA1A-ADRA1B heterooligomers regulate phenylephrine(PE)-stimulated ERK signaling in cardiac myocytes.

| Management | Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Avoid alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia. | ||||||||
