Indopanolol
Indopanolol is a beta blocker used in the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. It is not typically used in the United States, but is used in other countries. It is also used in the treatment of glaucoma.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Indopanolol is a non-selective beta blocker, meaning it blocks both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors. This can lead to a decrease in heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure. It can also lead to a decrease in intraocular pressure, which is why it is used in the treatment of glaucoma.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all beta blockers, indopanolol can cause a variety of side effects. These can include bradycardia, hypotension, fatigue, and dizziness. It can also cause bronchospasm, especially in patients with asthma or COPD.
Contraindications[edit | edit source]
Indopanolol is contraindicated in patients with heart block, bradycardia, hypotension, and asthma. It should also be used with caution in patients with diabetes, as it can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia.
