Sympatholytics

Sympatholytic drugs were first described in 1935, when German medical professor Theodor Fröhlich discovered that certain herbal compounds could suppress the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Since then, many sympatholytic drugs have been developed and are used to treat various diseases associated with high blood pressure.

Sympatholytic drugs work by inhibiting the activity of the sympathetic nerves, which are responsible for vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure. These drugs can be used in the treatment of hypertension, migraines, angina and other diseases associated with high blood pressure.

However, the use of sympatholytics may have its own risks and side effects. Some of them can cause a decrease in heart rate, which can lead to bradycardia. In addition, some drugs may cause dry mouth, headache, nausea, and other side effects.

In general, sympatholytic drugs are an effective treatment for many diseases, but they should only be used under medical supervision and only in cases where other treatments have failed.

Symptomatic medications are medications that do not treat the disease, but only relieve symptoms. As a rule, they “plug holes” and make life easier while taking them. The main problem with such drugs is that they generally do not help, and, ultimately, lead to the development of another disease. They start taking these pills even when the disease has already led to serious problems and makes their life difficult. It only happens more often that after taking the pills the symptoms only increase or some other symptoms appear
