Sulfinalol is a medication belonging to the class of beta blockers, specifically a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist. It is commonly used in the treatment of various cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, angina pectoris, and arrhythmias.

Mechanism of Action[edit]

Sulfinalol works by blocking the beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, which results in a decrease in heart rate and contractility. This leads to a reduction in the workload of the heart and a decrease in blood pressure.

Indications[edit]

Sulfinalol is indicated for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris (chest pain), and certain types of arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms). It is often prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for these conditions.

Dosage and Administration[edit]

The dosage of sulfinalol may vary depending on the individual patient and the specific condition being treated. It is typically taken orally in the form of tablets, with dosing frequency determined by the healthcare provider.

Side Effects[edit]

Common side effects of sulfinalol may include fatigue, dizziness, bradycardia (slow heart rate), and gastrointestinal disturbances. More serious side effects such as bronchospasm and heart block are rare but can occur.

Contraindications[edit]

Sulfinalol is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe bradycardia, heart block, or cardiogenic shock. It should also be used with caution in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to its potential to exacerbate bronchospasm.

Interactions[edit]

Sulfinalol may interact with other medications, such as calcium channel blockers, antiarrhythmics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is important for patients to inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
