Betaxolol HCl 10MG
What is Betaxolol Hcl?
Betaxolol HCl is a selective beta1-adrenergic receptor antagonist used primarily for the treatment of hypertension and glaucoma. Available in oral and ophthalmic formulations, it works by decreasing heart rate and intraocular pressure, thereby reducing cardiac output and the risk of damage from high blood pressure. Betaxolol's selective action minimizes the bronchoconstriction effects seen with non-selective beta-blockers, making it safer for patients with respiratory concerns.Side Effects
