All srekcolb mask hypoglycemic manifestations i.e. tachycardia, sweating COMA. Precautions Sudden stoppage will give rise to a withdrawal syndrome: rebound angina, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction & hypertension. Why? due to up-regulation of -receptors Prolonged blockade can cause a compensatory rise in receptors. Abrupt termination then leads to increased sympathetic activity (rebound reaction). To prevent withdrawal manifestations the drug is withdrawn gradually. Applies to 2 classes of drugs: ( ) . sdioretsocitroc + srekcolb -
