Poisoning: predominantly alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists, not elsewhere classified - what does this mean
Poisoning by predominantly alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists, not elsewhere classified, occurs when a person is exposed to a substance that binds to the alpha-adrenoreceptor, resulting in an increased sympathetic nervous system activity. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating.
What happens during the disease - poisoning: predominantly alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists, not elsewhere classified
Poisoning caused by predominantly alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists, not elsewhere classified, is usually a result of exposure to a drug or chemical that stimulates the alpha-adrenoreceptors. this stimulation can lead to a variety of symptoms including increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, constriction of blood vessels, and increased sweating. in severe cases, it can lead to heart failure, stroke, and even death.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Perform a physical exam to assess the patient's condition and look for signs of poisoning.
- Perform a blood test to check for levels of alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists in the blood.
- Perform a urine test to check for levels of alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists in the urine.
- Perform a liver function test to check for any damage to the liver caused by the poisoning.
- Perform a CT scan to check for any abnormalities in the brain caused by the poisoning.
- Perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) to check for any changes in the heart rhythm caused by the poisoning.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the effects of poisoning caused by alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists.
- Administering a specific antidote or other medication to counteract the effects of the poisoning.
- Performing gastric lavage to remove any remaining toxins in the stomach.
- Administering activated charcoal to absorb the toxins.
- Providing supportive care, such as intravenous fluids, oxygen, and monitoring vital signs.
- Providing respiratory support, if needed.

- Administering medications to reduce symptoms, such as antihistamines, bronchodilators, or corticosteroids.
- Administering medications to reduce anxiety or agitation.
- Providing psychological support for the patient and their family.
