“Excerpt To the Editor:Robin and colleagues (1) showed that propranolol blunts the pulmonary edema and ascites in mice given massive doses of cocaine.”
“Because d-propranolol has been shown to block the direct effects of cocaine on the pregnant rabbit uterus, we also evaluated the ability of d-propranolol (2 x 10(-6) mol/L) to block the effect of cocaine on catecholamine uptake.”
“Moreover, the leftward shift of the noradrenaline curves promoted by uptake blockers cocaine and corticosterone) and β-adrenoceptor antagonist ( propranolol ) was reduced in the vas deferens of treated group.”

“Conversely, beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol inhibits the effects of cocaine and epinephrine on CAM expression and decreases PMN adhesion to the coronary endothelium.”

“ Cocaine also reduced contractility [dP/dt50 (−341±80 mm Hg/s)] and increased systemic vascular resistance (+2703±339 dyn·s·cm−5) in the resence of propranolol.”
“In addition, propranolol , a drug that enhances the increase in vascular resistance to cocaine , also increases toxicity to cocaine in vascular responders.”
