Betaxolol medications are the selective beta which are used in treatment of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and high blood pressure

 

Betaxolol

Betaxol is a prescription supplement designed to lower cholesterol. It is typically taken orally. Usually take betaxol approximately once a day, followed by a meal. Betaxol is prescribed to people with high blood pressure who cannot take other drugs. The medication should be taken as directed. To avoid an undesirable reaction, individuals taking betaxol should avoid food that may make their high blood pressure worse. Individuals taking betaxol should not drive or operate machinery while they are taking this medication. They should not use regular aspirin or other over-the-counter medications, including nitroglycerine unless they are instructed to do so. Betaxol should not be taken by pregnant women or individuals under the age of 18.

Side effects of betaxol are uncommon, but they can occur. These include allergic reactions such as itchiness, redness, swelling, blisters or hives, stomach pain, and dizziness. There may be some mild sedation which should pass in a few hours. Usually there is no more serious side effects than these. Most patients report that betaxol helps control their blood pressure without unwanted side effects. For instance, in September 2021, a group of researchers from the University of North Texas Health Science Center, U.S., reported that patients suffering from OAG (open-angle glaucoma) can improve their condition by lowering IOP (intraocular pressure) for one year post-surgery.

Although beta-adrenergic blockers have been clinically proven to effectively treat hypertension and atherosclerosis, they can cause certain side effects. Betaxol has no known side effects so far, although the long-term use of betaxolol may produce conditions such as fluid retention, liver damage, and vitamin B12 deficiency. This is due to the elevated levels of niacin (inactive vitamin) in betaxolol.

Many individuals suffering from hypertension find that betaxolol helps control their blood pressure without unwanted side effects. For many years, scientists have been trying to determine whether betaxolol may have any role in the treatment of heart failure. It was found that betaxol slowed the heart rate and decreased the workload on the heart muscles, without increasing workload on the atria or heart.
