Used to treat hypertension and to reduce intraocular pressure.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Carteolol blocks catecholamine stimulation of β1- and β2-adrenoceptors in the heart to lower the heart rate and blood pressure. This antagonism probably also initiates a decrease in aqueous humor production to relieve intraocular pressure.
