Agonist: drug that interact w/receptor to stimulate a response.
 Epinephrine: non-specific adrenergic agonist, interact w/Alpha 1 & Beta 1 & 2 receptors
 Albuterol: adrenergic Beta 2 agonist
 Morphine: depresses pain impulses transmission by interacting w/opioids receptors
 Fentanyl: depresses pain impulses transmission by interacting w/opioids receptors
ANTAgonist: drug that interact w/receptor to prevent a response
 Narcan: opioid antagonist that competes w/opioids at opioids receptor sites
 Benadryl: competes w/histamine for H1 and H2 receptor sites
 Atropine: blocks acetylcholine at postganglionic receptor sites
 Atrovent: inhibits interaction of acetylcholine at receptor sites
 Amiodarone: non competitive Alpha and Beta adrenergic blocker
Partial agonist: drugs that interact w/receptor to stimulate a response but inhibit other responses.
 Nubain: synthetic opioid agonist + antagonist. Depresses pain impulse transmission by interacting w/opioid
receptors. It has antagonist effects similar to those of Narcan.
