Hydroxytertatolol
Hydroxytertatolol is a pharmacological compound that is a metabolite of the beta blocker drug, tertatolol. It is primarily used in the field of medicine and pharmacology for its therapeutic effects.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Pharmacology is the branch of biology that studies the interaction of drugs with living organisms to produce a change in function. Hydroxytertatolol, as a pharmacological compound, interacts with the body's biological systems to produce therapeutic effects. It is a metabolite of the drug tetratolol, which means it is produced when the body metabolizes tetratolol.
Beta Blockers[edit | edit source]
Beta blockers, also known as beta-adrenergic blocking agents, are a class of drugs that are predominantly used to manage abnormal heart rhythms, and to protect the heart from a second heart attack (myocardial infarction) after a first heart attack (secondary prevention). They are also widely used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), although they are no longer the first choice for initial treatment of high blood pressure.
Tertatolol[edit | edit source]
Tertatolol is a non-selective beta blocker used in the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. It 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.
Metabolism[edit | edit source]
In pharmacology, metabolism is the process by which the body breaks down and converts medication into active chemical substances. The metabolites produced often have their own therapeutic effects, as is the case with Hydroxytertatolol.
Therapeutic Effects[edit | edit source]
The therapeutic effects of Hydroxytertatolol are similar to those of its parent drug, tetratolol. These can include a reduction in heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. These effects make it useful in the treatment of conditions such as hypertension and angina pectoris.
