These as you stated are beta blockers.
A beta blocker blocks the beta receptors found specifically on the heart and around the body.
Beta receptors are a receptor type associated with the sympathetic nervous system, and are found on specific effector organs.
Common beta receptor carrying organs/tissues include the:
Heart (beta 1)
Ciliary muscles (2)
Arterioles (2)
Stomach (2)
Lungs (2)
Bladder (2)
etc etc
Beta blockers
So what happens is that as an impulse is initiated the propagation of it is limited and the effect of that impulse does not occur.
Beta receptors are classed as excitory (beta 1) or inhibitory/relaxation (beta 2). Beta 3 are found in adipocytes (fat cells).
The effect this has is to block the propagation and reduce the force and rate of the heart beat, hence this decreases blood pressure.
They also (from above) relax blood vessels (beta 2) also reducing the blood pressure.
Stimulation of the kidneys leads to renin release which consequently causes a cascade of effects on its own to increase blood pressure, hence blocking this would prevent the renin-angiotensin system from developing, further reducing blood pressure.
This is just a basic overview, read a physiology texts for more detail.
Hi!! It is used to bring down high blood pressure, and to regulate ones heart beat mainly. It is also used to keep control of pressure in the eyes in a person with Glaucoma, but i believe in this case for only a limited time.
Obviously it has, in each case, to be strictly monitored at all times. Hysteria is probably helped by the administration of metroprolol tartrate in small measured doses, but i am not sure of this.
There are various strengths in the use of eye drops.
