Why beta blockers should be avoided in cocaine?

Beta blockers must not be used in the treatment of cocaine, amphetamine, or other alpha adrenergic stimulant overdose. The blockade of only beta receptors increases hypertension, reduces coronary blood flow, left ventricular function, and cardiac output and tissue perfusion by means of leaving the alpha adrenergic system stimulation unopposed. The appropriate antihypertensive drugs to administer during hypertensive crisis resulting from stimulant abuse are vasodilators like nitroglycerin, diuretics like furosemide and alpha blockers like phentolamine.beta-blocker


How are beta-adrenoceptor blockers used to treat heart failure?

Beta blockers can decrease the myocardial contractility and make heart failure worse. However, beta-blockers were shown to reduce mortality and morbidity in heart failure patients. This may be due to how they can block the damaging effects of sympathetic activity which is too active. Usually, beta-1 selective blockers such as carvedilol are used. Beta blockers should be used in all patients with stable heart failure with reduced LVEF. They should be used after ACE inhibitors.
