Indications for use:
Angina pectoris. Hypertension (persistent increase in blood pressure).
Pharmacological action:
A cardioselective beta-blocker (selectively blocking beta! adrenoreceptors of the heart), which has its own sympathomimetic (prevents slowdown in heart rate, which develops as a result of blockade of beta! adrenoreceptors of the heart) and membrane stabilizing (normalizes the physiological state of the membrane of the heart cells) activity.
It has an antianginal (anti-ischemic) effect. It has a hypotensive (lowering blood pressure) effect, which manifests itself after 2-5 days and maximum after 3-4 weeks. At the same time, it reduces the stroke and minute volume without increasing the total peripheral resistance.

Raynaud’s syndrome (narrowing of the lumen of the vessels of the extremities), infrequently – manifestation of signs of heart failure; atrioventricular blockade (violation of the conduction of excitation through the conduction system of the heart); severe bradycardia (rare pulse), a sharp drop in blood pressure. Paresthesia (feeling of numbness) of the limbs, asthenia (weakness). Rarely – bronchospasm (sharp narrowing of the bronchial lumen), status asthmaticus (protracted attack of bronchial asthma, not amenable to treatment with medications usually taken by the patient).
