How do peripheral vasodilators work?
Peripheral vasodilators work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of blood vessels, which causes them to dilate and widen. This leads to a decrease in resistance to blood flow, resulting in increased blood flow to the peripheral tissues. This can help reduce high blood pressure and improve circulation.
What medications decrease venous return reducing peripheral vascular resistance?
Vasodilators
What are the after effects after the surgery?

How do rods and cones effect peripheral vision?
Rods and cones effects peripheral vision by sensing the light that reflects off of objects to a persons side at and angling them into the center of the eye where they are converted to images.
Do vasodilators interact with other medications?
Vasodilators may interact with other medicines
What vasodilators are normally used?
Examples of vasodilators are hydralazine (Apresoline) and minoxidil (Loniten).
Why are vasodilators used?
Vasodilators are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension

How to avoid giving levodopa in high dose to Parkinson's patients?
Although levodopa can cross our BBB, but it will be decarboxylated to dopamine peripherally before reaching our CNS - only small amount of Levodopa will be left and available to pass our BBB.So, instead of giving levodopa in high dose (which can cause lots of side effects), we give levodopa with peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors (e.g. carbidopa, benserazide) which can inhibit decarboxylation of levodopa in GIT and peripheral tissues. (By combining levodopa and peripheral decarobxylase inhibitors, we will have less side effects too)
Why is Carbidopa admistered with L-Dopa?
L-Dopa is a prodrug used to treat Parkinson's Disease. It crosses the blood brain barrier with the aid of Phe-Trp-L-aromatic acid transporters and is then turned into dopamine through decarboxylation. However, it is also capable of producing large amounts of dopamine in peripheral areas by stimulating the chemoreceptor trigger zone and these dopamine can produce side effects in peripheral body parts. Carbidopa is hence added to inhibit DOPA decarboxylase in peripheral areas so that there will be fewer of these side effects.
