Pamatolol
Pamatolol
Pamatolol (pronunciation: pah-mah-toh-lol) is a type of Beta Blocker used in the treatment of Hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases.
Etymology
The term 'Pamatolol' is derived from the Greek words 'pamato' meaning 'all' and 'lol' which is a common suffix for beta blockers.
Usage
Pamatolol is primarily used to treat high blood pressure and heart-related conditions. 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.
