Possible Interaction: Amphetamine and Adrenergic Antagonists

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

It should again be stressed that patients taking adrenergic neurone blockers (for example, guanethidine or bethanidine) must not be given (or themselves take) sympathomimetic drugs (such as ephedrine, phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine and amphetamine ), as these can all acutely aggravate their hypertension.

Pretreatment with the α1-adrenergic-receptor antagonist Prazosin or lesion of the serotonergic system significantly reduced the locomotor hyperactivity and striatal Fos expression induced by Amphetamine.

P]These results support the hypothesis that amphetamine increases ACh output through the release of catecholamines from adrenergic nerve endings; these in turn stimulate a cholinergic pathway which ascends to the cerebral cortex, and either originates from or passes through the septum.

The antagonism of these two effects of amphetamine was studied by pretreatment with several neuroleptic, adrenolytic and cholinergic drugs.
