Bucumolol
Bucumolol
Bucumolol (pronounced boo-koo-moh-lol) is a type of beta-adrenergic blocking agent used in the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases.
Etymology
The term "Bucumolol" is derived from the Latin word "bucca" meaning cheek or mouth, and "molol" which is a modification of the suffix "-olol" commonly found in the names of beta blockers.
Usage
Bucumolol is primarily used in the treatment of high blood pressure, angina, and arrhythmias. 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.
