Abstract
There are now several antihypertensive agents with dual actions. Among these, labetalol has been studied most extensively. The drug has a place in the chronic treatment of hypertension and in the therapy of hypertensive emergencies. Carvedilol, now available in Germany, has been shown to be effective in different forms of hypertension. Celiprolol binds to beta 1- and beta 2-receptors. This drug also binds to alpha 2-receptors. It is not clear, at present, whether or not this binding property contributes to its antihypertensive effect.Entities:
