Compositions are provided comprising: (c) a subefficacious amount of an adrenergic compound; and (d) a safe and effective amount of a complement to the adrenergic compound. Methods are also provided comprising the administration of: (c) a low dose of an adrenergic compound; and (d) a safe and effective amount of a complement to said adrenergic compound. Preferably, the adrenergic compound is a catecholamine. Complements include ascorbates, opioids, polycarboxylic acid chelaters, and mixtures thereof. Preferred complements include ascorbates, particularly ascorbic acid. Methods include the treatment of neurological disorders, hypotension, forward failure, backward failure, congestive heart failure, shock, hypertension, hemorrhage, disorders associated with anesthesia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, colic, Crohn's disease, anaphylaxis, interstitial cystitis, overactive bladder syndrome, premature labor, myethsenia gravis, and glaucoma. |
