pindolol & timolol comes under b2 or nonselective blokers?




  #2

i got it myself b1 b2 nonselective




  #3

*Correct--B1,B2 nonselective!

Pindolol also very mildy "stimulates" B1 and B2 adrenergic receptors ! so produces minimal bronchoconstriction and very minimal disruption of lipod and carbo metabolism.

Timolol is known for an extremely long half life and decrease producion of aqueous humour by ciliary body.[non selective]

In general if a beta blocker begins with A or M its cardioselective[B1]


A good q is : Where are B2 receptors found?
