Oral beta blocker used in the treatment of hypertension. It may also have stimulatory effects on the heart. Adverse effects include depression, cardiac arrhythmias, and aggravation of heart failure or asthma.
Pindolol, a beta-blocker medication, is employed in the treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain due to insufficient blood flow to the heart) and hypertension (elevated blood pressure). Its potential side effects align with those of other beta-blockers, although pindolol has a reduced likelihood of causing bradycardia (abnormally slow heartbeat) compared to certain alternatives.
