Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

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

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]
