  1. alpha-adrenergic blocker

    An alpha-adrenergic blocker is a type of medication that is used to prevent the hormone norepinephrine from interacting with alpha receptors on the muscles that line the blood vessels. This interaction can cause the vessels to constrict, which can increase blood pressure. By blocking this interaction, alpha-adrenergic blockers help relax and widen the blood vessels, causing a decrease in blood pressure. These drugs are used in the treatment of several conditions, including hypertension, heart failure, and prostate problems.
