Simpatolitik
(Preusmjereno sa stranice Antiadrenergici)
Simpatolitici su lekovi koji inhibiraju postganglione funkcije simpatičkog nervnog sistema.[1] Oni mogu da utiču na različite funkcije. Oni se na primer mogu koristiti kao antihipertenzivi. Oni se isto tako koriste za lečenje anksioznosti, kao što je generalizovani anksiozni poremećaj, panični poremećaj i posttraumatski stresni poremećaj.
