CARDIAC STIMULANTS EXCL. CARDIAC GLYCOSIDES
Cardiac stimulants other than glycosides are classified in this group. Agents
exerting inotropic or other cardiovascular stimulating effects for the treatment of
hypotension should be classified in this group. Agents exerting both inotropic
and antihypertensive effects, e.g. phosphodiesterase inhibitors, are also included
in this group. Preparations containing these substances which are mainly
indicated for bronchodilatation should be classified in QR03 - Drugs for
obstructive airway diseases. Oral products of ephedrine are classified in
QR03CA.
QC01CA
Adrenergic and dopaminergic agents
Sympathomimetic preparations containing e.g. dobutamine, norepinephrine,
epinephrine or isoprenaline, mainly intended for the treatment of hypotension,
should be classified in this group. Preparations used mainly as bronchodilators,
e.g. epinephrine preparations are assigned to QR03 - Drugs for obstructive
airway diseases.
QC01CE
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors
Cardiac stimulants exerting phosphodiesterase-inhibiting activity, e.g. amrinone,
should be classified in this group.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as theophylline, which are used in asthma
therapy, are classified in QR03D - Other systemic drugs for obstructive airway
diseases.
