Indicated for: hypertension
Substance: celiprolol (beta blocker)
ATC: C07AB08 (Cardiovascular system | Beta blocking agents | Beta blocking agents, selective)
Celiprolol is a beta-blocker used for the treatment of high blood pressure and angina pectoris. It has cardioselective properties and works by blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors, thereby reducing heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, celiprolol has a mild vasodilatory effect, which helps improve blood flow.
The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, and the dosage is adjusted based on the patient's response and the severity of the condition being treated. It is important for patients to follow their doctor's instructions and not discontinue the medication abruptly, as this may worsen symptoms.
Patients should be regularly monitored to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and detect potential side effects. It is important to avoid excessive alcohol consumption and inform the doctor about any other medications being taken.
Side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, headache, bradycardia, or, in rare cases, bronchospasm. Patients should inform their doctor of any unusual symptoms or adverse reactions.
