Sleep disorders are the common side effects of beta blockers. Beta blockers have been shown to reduce the production of melatonin via specific inhibition of adrenergic beta1-receptors. Exogenous melatonin, taken in the evening as a supplement, could reduce the central nervous system (CNS) side effects (sleep disorder) associated with beta-adrenergic receptor blockers as well as the potential risk associated with reduction of the melatonin synthesis.
睡眠障碍是β受体阻滞剂常见的副作用。研究表明,β受体阻滞剂可通过特异性抑制肾上腺素能β1受体来减少褪黑素的分泌。作为补充剂在晚上服用外源性褪黑素,可以减轻与β肾上腺素能受体阻滞剂相关的中枢神经系统(CNS)副作用(睡眠障碍)以及与褪黑素合成减少相关的潜在风险。
