Carteolol is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs called beta blockers. There are a few synonyms for carteolol, including Ocupress, Arteolol, and Endicor. These medications work by blocking the effects of adrenaline in the body, leading to a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure. They are commonly prescribed to prevent heart attacks and stroke, as well as to treat angina (chest pain) and heart failure. As with any medication, it is important to talk to your doctor about the best option for your specific health condition and any potential side effects or interactions.
