Carazolol

Carazolol is a beta blocker/beta antagonist that is used in the treatment of glaucoma. It is a non-selective beta blocker that is used in eye drops to reduce the production of fluid in the eye, thereby reducing pressure.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Carazolol is a non-selective beta blocker that works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

Medical uses[edit | edit source]

Carazolol is used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and heart rhythm disorders. It is also used to prevent migraine headaches and to treat certain types of tremors (familial or hereditary essential tremors).

Side effects[edit | edit source]

Common side effects of Carazolol include dizziness, lightheadedness, or tiredness. These side effects are usually temporary and often decrease as your body adjusts to this medication. Other side effects include cold hands and feet, depression, and shortness of breath.

Interactions[edit | edit source]

Carazolol can interact with other medications, vitamins, or herbs you may be taking. An interaction is when a substance changes the way a drug works. This can be harmful or prevent the drug from working well.
