Question

You have been convicted of posting your discussion postings after the weekly deadlines. As this is an extremely heinous crime, you will be given a punishment that far exceeds the crime. In this punishment, you are given a drug that influences the nervous system. On the plus side, you get to choose which of three drugs you will be given. The three drugs are a Beta 1 agonist, a Beta 2 agonist and a muscarinic agonist. An agonist is a drug that stimulates a particular type of receptor (Beta 1, Beta 2 or Muscarinic in our situation). Which drug will you choose. Explain your answer.

Basically saying which drug would you rather take and why

Answer 1

I would prefer a Beta 2 agonist that is short acting and I would prefer it after a carbohydrate loaded meal. In this way, it would dilate my airways as beta 2 agonist are bronchodilator and would release insulin which would try to cause hypoglycemia but I'm already loaded with carbohydrate 4 to 6 hours before drug administration. I would prefer to stay at my home when drug is given so that I won't have to drive back or do any activity because my hands and small muscles would be shaking due to beta receptor stimulation and hypoglycemia. But in any case, it's better than a Beta 1 agonist that causes palpitations and Messes with RAAS System.
