| Beta Blockers | "Block" the effects of adrenaline on your body's beta receptors. This slows the nerve impulses that travel through the heart. As a result, your heart does not have to work as hard because it needs less blood and oxygen. The results are lowered heart rate and blood pressure. i.e. Betapace® (sotalol), Blocadren® (timolol), Brevibloc® (esmolol), Cartrol® (carteolol), Coreg® (carvedilol), Corgard® (nadolol), Inderal® (propranolol), Inderal-LA® (propranolol), Kerlone® (betaxolol), Levatol® (penbutolol), Lopressor® (metoprolol), Normodyne® (labetalol), Sectral® (acebutolol), Tenormin® (atenolol), Toprol-XL® (metoprolol), Trandate® (labetalol), Visken® (pindolol), Zebeta® (bisoprolol).
