Which of the following is correct regarding your pick ?
a)Is a cardioselective B-blocker----
It works on SA/AV so yes
b)is safe for use in asthma patients
BB shouldn't be used in asthma b/c they hide symptoms of hypoglycemia so no
c)has alfa1-blocking activity
BB increase a 1 activity so this isn't the answer
d)Is contraindicated in the treatment of stable chronic heart failure
Uw said it is used for CHF so... no :I
e)Decrease effects of your pick may occur if it is coadministered with P/gp inhibitors
I don't know what's P/gp is?
