Sulfinalol
Sulfinalol
Sulfinalol (pronounced: sul-fin-a-lol) is a type of beta blocker used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Etymology
The term "Sulfinalol" is derived from the Latin words 'sulfur' meaning 'brimstone' and 'finalis' meaning 'final or ultimate', and the Greek word 'olol' which is a common suffix for beta blockers.
Definition
Sulfinalol is a non-selective beta blocker and vasodilator that is used to treat conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (chest pain), and certain types of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). 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.
Usage
Sulfinalol is typically administered orally in tablet form. The dosage and frequency of use will depend on the patient's condition and response to treatment. It is important to take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it.
Side Effects
Like all medications, Sulfinalol can cause side effects. Common side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, or tiredness. If any of these effects persist or worsen, patients should notify their doctor or pharmacist promptly.
