Generic	Brand	Uses/ effects
Norepinephrine	Levophed	Intense vasoconstriction causes reflex bradycardia which overwhelms weak B1 cardiostimulatory effects.
Isoproterenol	Isuprel	Stimulates heart more than epinephrine due to direct effects and response to decreased mean arterial pressure.
Dopamine	Intropin	B1 effects: increased contractility & systolic pressure, less effect on rate than isoproterenol. Causes indirect release of norepinephrine which is offset by inhibition of norepinephrine release via presynaptic dopamine receptors.
Phenylephrine	Neo-Synephrine	Decreased HR (reflex increase mean arterial pressure) Treats paroxysal supraventricular tachycardia.
Metaproternol	Alupent	Few cardiac effects due to lack of affinity for B1 receptors.
Albuterol	Ventolin, Proventil	Few cardiac effects due to lack of affinity for B1 receptors.
Salmeterol	Serevent	Few cardiac effects due to lack of affinity for B1 receptors.
Pirbuterol	Maxair	Few cardiac effects due to lack of affinity for B1 receptors.
Levalbuterol	Xopenex	Few cardiac effects due to lack of affinity for B1 receptors.
