Isoxaprolol

Isoxaprolol is a beta blocker used in the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. It is a non-selective beta blocker, meaning it blocks both beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

Isoxaprolol 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.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Isoxaprolol is used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). It can be used alone or in combination with other medications. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Common side effects of Isoxaprolol include dizziness, lightheadedness, or tiredness. These side effects are usually temporary and often decrease as your body adjusts to this medication. Other side effects may include slow heartbeat, cold hands and feet, depression, or breathing difficulties.
