Description
Visken Oral Uses This medication is used alone or with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems. Pindolol belongs to a class of medications called beta-blockers. It works by blocking the effects of certain natural substances (such as epinephrine and adrenalin) on the heart and blood vessels. This results in a lowering of the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. OTHER USES: Pindolol may also be used to treat a certain type of chest pain (angina). It may reduce the frequency of chest pain episodes and improve your ability to exercise. Your doctor may also use this medication to treat other conditions. How to use Visken Oral Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually twice daily or as directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. It may take 1-2 weeks before the full benefit of this drug takes effect. It is important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Do not stop taking this medication without first consulting your doctor, especially if you have chest pain (angina) or heart disease. Your condition may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. If your doctor decides you should no longer use this drug, you must gradually decrease your dose according to your doctor's instructions. When gradually stopping this medication, it is recommended that you temporarily limit physical activity to decrease work for the heart. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop new or worsening chest pain. (See also Side Effects section.) Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens (e.g., routine blood pressure readings increase).
