Betaxolol is a selective beta 1 receptor blocker used in the treatment of hypertension and angina. [1] It is also a adrenergic blocker with no partial agonist action and minimal membrane stabilizing activity. [2]
For most people, recommendations are to reduce blood pressure to less than or equal to somewhere between 140/90 mmHg and 160/100 mmHg. [2] In general, for people with elevated blood pressure, attempting to achieve lower levels of blood pressure than the recommended 140/90 mmHg will create more harm than benefits, [3] in particular for older people.

Celiprolol is a medication in the class of beta blockers, used in the treatment of high blood pressure. It has a unique pharmacology: it is a selective β1 receptor antagonist, but a β2 receptor partial agonist. It is also a weak α2 receptor antagonist. It was patented in 1973 and approved for medical use in 1982. [1]

Age and multi-morbidity can affect the choice of medication, the target blood pressure and even whether to treat or not. [61] Anxiety may be improved with the use of beta blockers. Asthmatics have been reported to have worsening symptoms when using beta blockers. Beta blockers can trigger or worsen psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and rheumatoid ...
Beta blockers must not be used in the treatment of selective alpha-adrenergic agonist overdose. The blockade of only beta receptors increases blood pressure, reduces coronary blood flow, left ventricular function, and cardiac output and tissue perfusion by means of leaving the alpha-adrenergic system stimulation unopposed.
Beta blockers are medications that often prevent paroxysmal and labile hypertension as they interact with the sympathetic nervous system. Beta blockers help reduce blood pressure by blocking the effects of hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. The effect of taking beta blockers can help lower the heart rate as well as help improve the ...
