Tolamolol
Tolamolol
Tolamolol (pronounced: toh-lah-moh-lol) is a type of beta blocker medication used in the treatment of high blood pressure and angina.
Etymology
The term "Tolamolol" is derived from the generic naming convention for beta blockers, which typically end in "-olol". The prefix "Tola-" does not have a specific known etymology.
Usage
Tolamolol is used to treat high blood pressure and angina. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Tolamolol include fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
