  • Therapeutic Class Overview Beta-Adrenergic Blocking Agents
    Therapeutic Class Overview Beta-adrenergic Blocking Agents INTRODUCTION Approximately 92.1 million American adults have at least 1 type of cardiovascular disease according to the American Heart Association (AHA) Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics 2018 update. From 2003 to 2015, mortality associated with cardiovascular disease declined 25.5% (Benjamin et al 2018). Beta-adrenergic blocking agents (beta-blockers) are a group of drugs that block the sympathomimetic effects of catecholamines on beta receptors. This results in negative inotropic and chronotropic effects and relaxation of smooth muscle. Beta-blockers have varied pharmacologic properties. ○ Cardioselective beta-blockers preferentially interact with beta1-receptors, which are predominantly found in the heart. Non-cardioselective beta-blockers also interact with beta2-receptors found on smooth muscle in the lungs, blood vessels, and other tissues. The cardioselectivity of beta-blockers is dose dependent; therefore, beta2 blockade can occur at higher doses with certain cardioselective agents. ○ Some beta-blockers (acebutolol and pindolol) have intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (ISA), which may result in a lower incidence of bradycardia and bronchoconstriction (Facts and Comparisons 2018). In addition, some beta- blockers (nebivolol and propranolol) have higher lipophilicity, which may increase the risk for central nervous system- related adverse events (Facts and Comparisons 2018). ○ Carvedilol and labetalol also block alpha-adrenergic receptors and may reduce peripheral resistance more than other beta-blockers (Clinical Pharmacology 2018). Specific indications for the beta-blockers vary by product. Most beta-blockers (all except sotalol) are approved to treat hypertension (HTN). The 2017 American College of Cardiology (ACC)/AHA clinical practice guideline defines HTN as blood pressure (BP) ≥ 130/80 mm Hg (Whelton et al 2017).

  • Migraine Headache Prophylaxis Hien Ha, Pharmd, and Annika Gonzalez, MD, Christus Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program, San Antonio, Texas
    Migraine Headache Prophylaxis Hien Ha, PharmD, and Annika Gonzalez, MD, Christus Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program, San Antonio, Texas Migraines impose significant health and financial burdens. Approximately 38% of patients with episodic migraines would benefit from preventive therapy, but less than 13% take prophylactic medications. Preventive medication therapy reduces migraine frequency, severity, and headache-related distress. Preventive therapy may also improve quality of life and prevent the progression to chronic migraines. Some indications for preventive therapy include four or more headaches a month, eight or more headache days a month, debilitating headaches, and medication- overuse headaches. Identifying and managing environmental, dietary, and behavioral triggers are useful strategies for preventing migraines. First-line med- ications established as effective based on clinical evidence include divalproex, topiramate, metoprolol, propranolol, and timolol. Medications such as ami- triptyline, venlafaxine, atenolol, and nadolol are probably effective but should be second-line therapy. There is limited evidence for nebivolol, bisoprolol, pindolol, carbamazepine, gabapentin, fluoxetine, nicardipine, verapamil, nimodipine, nifedipine, lisinopril, and candesartan. Acebutolol, oxcarbazepine, lamotrigine, and telmisartan are ineffective. Newer agents target calcitonin gene-related peptide pain transmission in the migraine pain pathway and have recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; ​​​how- ever, more studies of long-term effectiveness and adverse effects are needed. The complementary treatments petasites, feverfew, magnesium, and riboflavin are probably effective. Nonpharmacologic therapies such as relaxation training, thermal biofeedback combined with relaxation training, electromyographic feedback, and cognitive behavior therapy also have good evidence to support their use in migraine prevention.
