Important points about ANS phamacology

By Dr. Ahmed
  • Atenolol is not lipid soluble therefore it has longer half life than Metaprolol which is lipid soluble.
  • Carvedilol blocks both alpha and beta receptors and is the most common beta blocker used in chronic congestive heart failure because it has Antioxidant and Antimitogenic properties in addition.
  • Esmolol has the shortest and Nadolol has the longest half life among all beta blockers.
  • Beta Blockers must not be used in compensated (i.e) acute heart failure.
  • Beta blockers that are excreted in kidneys (lipid insoluble): Nadalol, Satolol, Atenolol, Acebutalol, Bisprolol, Betaxolol, Celioprolol- Should be avoided in renal failure.
  • Endogenous Norepinephrine is metabolized by COMT and MAO. Exogenous Norepinephrin is metabolized by reuptake.
  • Hemicholimium- Blocks the reuptake of Choline
  • Vesamicol- prevents entry of choline into storage vesicles.
  • Glucagon is DOC in beta blockers overdose. Other drugs that are used- Norepinephrine and Calcium chloride.
  • Cardioselective Beta Blocker used in Glaucoma treatment- Betaxolol.
  • Beta Blockers having local anaesthetic activity- Propranolol, Metaprolol, Labetolol, Acebutolol, Pindolol- These drugs must not be used for treatment of glaucoma (more risk of corneal ulcer formation)
  • Longest acting ocular beta blokcer- Betaxolol.
  • Latanoprost- It is a PGF2alpha derivative used in Glaucoma.
  • Intramuscular injection of Atropine causes an initial Bradycardia- due to inhibition of M1 receptors (which normally decrease Ach release).
  • Hyoscine (scopolamine) is a CNS depressor in low doses. Atropine is a CNS elevator in low dose and depressor in high dose.
  • Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic drug that is used in pre anaesthetic medications and also during surgeries- to decrease secretions and avoid reflex bronchospasm.
  • Tropicamide- fastest mydriatic (antimuscuranic with shortest half lie).
  • Rate limiting enzyme in the synthesis of Catecholamines- Tyrosine hydroxylase.
  • Vasomotor reversal of Dale is seen in case of Epinephrine because it has both alpha and beta2 agonist activity.
  • Vasoconstrictors must not be used in secondary shock
  • Adrenergic neuron blocking drugs have no action on exogenous (injected) adrenaline. They only block the release of adrenaline from nerve endings.
  • Ergot alkaloids are the alpha blockers that can cause vasoconstriction.
  • Aplha1 inhibitors cause faster and greater symptomatic relief but do not affect the disease progression. 5 alpha reductase inhibitors (Finasteride) slows disease progression.
  • Most dangerous effect of belladona in very young children- Hyperthermia (not dehydration)
  • Cocaine inhibits the re-uptake of Dopamine and Noradrenaline in CNS.
  • The effect of parasympathetic system (and atropine) is of longest duration in Eye.
  • Adrenaline in anaphylaxis- If used IM, dose is 1:1000; If used IV, dose is 1:10,000

FDA is infamous for 'approving' deadly drugs: Pfizer's Covid19 vaccine is one of them.

By Dr. Ahmed
FDA approved does not mean safe. The FDA in recent years has been approving some deadly medicines that kill people, only to later 'recall' them from the market. By the time the pharmaceutical company (makers of the deadly drug) make huge profits and FDA people get their cut through legalized quid pro quo. Making money out of people's health is nothing new for those sitting in high positions of the 'health industry'. Infact it has reached a sadistic proportions where these people enjoy it. Because now the Big Pharma is involved in eugenics and depopulation agenda.  Still in Clinical Trails but 'Approved'. Forget about the 'rare' drugs or drugs used in rare diseases, a common, over the counter heart burn medicine such as Ranitidine (Rantac/Zantac) was pulled off the market by the FDA because it had a carcinogenic substance called NDMA in it. It has been known to cause heart attacks, liver failure, triggering porphyria attacks and pneumonia . Imagin

Sen Johnson about 'Pandemic of the Unvaccinated'.

By Dr. Ahmed
 Senator Ron Johnson brings up Public Health England's data showing 63% of delta deaths occurring in the fully vaccinated over the last 7.5 months. Sen Johnson under relentless assault by mainstream media and tech syndicates for exposing vaccine mafia. I will continue to hammer this point home.  Data out of England, Israel, Iceland, Denmark, etc is completely different from what public health officials in the United States are calling a "pandemic of the unvaccinated". The data in the United States is being manipulated in multiple ways, some of which I have previously explained, but you only have to look at the data from European countries to realize this. https://twitter.com/SenRonJohnson/status/1443777704994672644?s=19

Operation Covid Shield: : “personal freedoms” leveraged to incentivise vaccine uptake.

By Dr. Ahmed
 Original Source: Harrison Publications . Investigative Jounalist Melissa Harrison. Upon extensively researching product information and literature published by Australia’s drug regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), I have become seriously concerned that the Australian public has not been adequately informed about the safety profile, potential risks and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines. For consent to be legally valid, The Australian Government's Immunisation Handbook says, “It can only be given after the potential risks and benefits of the relevant vaccine, the risks of not having it, and any alternative options have been explained to the person. … It must be given voluntarily in the absence of undue pressure, coercion or manipulation.”   Although the Australian government continues to claim that Covid-19 vaccines will be voluntary, the new operations manual for ‘Operation COVID Shield’, Australia’s mass Covid-19 vaccination rollout, openly acknowledges the governmen
