Carteolol is a non-selective beta blocker used to treat glaucoma. It is administered in the form of eye drops.[citation needed]

Carteolol was patented in 1972 and approved for medical use in 1980.[1]

Pharmacology

[edit]

Pharmacodynamics

[edit]

Carteolol is a beta blocker, or an antagonist of the β-adrenergic receptors.[2] It is selective for the β1-adrenergic receptor and has intrinsic sympathomimetic activity.[2] Carteolol has also been found to act as a serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptor antagonist in addition to being a beta blocker.[3]

Pharmacokinetics

[edit]

Carteolol is classified as a beta blocker with low lipophilicity and hence lower potential for crossing the blood–brain barrier.[2] This in turn may result in fewer effects in the central nervous system as well as a lower risk of neuropsychiatric side effects.[2]
