Medroxalol
Medroxalol is a beta blocker used in the treatment of hypertension. It is a non-selective beta blocker/alpha-1 blocker and is the only drug of its kind.
Pharmacology
Medroxalol is a non-selective beta blocker and alpha-1 blocker. This means it blocks the action of epinephrine (adrenaline) on both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors, and on alpha-1 receptors. The beta blocking effect reduces the heart rate and is useful in treating abnormally rapid heart rhythms. The alpha-1 blocking effect dilates blood vessels, reducing blood pressure.
Uses
Medroxalol is used in the treatment of hypertension, a condition characterized by high blood pressure. It can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, medroxalol can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Some common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, and cold hands and feet. Less common side effects include shortness of breath, trouble sleeping, and depression.
Precautions
Before taking medroxalol, it is important to inform your doctor if you have any heart problems, asthma or other breathing problems, diabetes, or kidney or liver disease. It is also important to inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking, as medroxalol can interact with other drugs.
