Ideal sources for Misplaced Pages's health content are defined in the guideline Misplaced Pages:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Beta blocker. PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles) The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine. Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Beta blocker article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.

• Celiprolol (has intrinsic sympathomimetic activity)
• Metoprolol
• Nebivolol

Comparative information

Pharmacological differences

• Agents with intrinsic sympathomimetic action (ISA)
  • Acebutolol, pindolol, labetalol, mepindolol, oxprenolol, celiprolol
• Agents organized by lipid solubility (lipophilicity)
  • High lipophilicity: propranolol, labetalol
  • Intermediate lipophilicity: metoprolol, bisoprolol, carvedilol, acebutolol, timolol, pindolol
  • Low lipophilicity (also known as hydrophilic beta-blockers): atenolol, nadolol, and sotalol
• Agents with membrane stabilizing effect
  • Acebutolol, propranolol

Indication differences

• Agents specifically labeled for cardiac arrhythmia
  • Esmolol, sotalol, landiolol
• Agents specifically labeled for congestive heart failure
  • carvedilol, sustained-release metoprolol, bisoprolol,
• Agents specifically labeled for glaucoma
  • Betaxolol, carteolol, levobunolol, metipranolol, timolol
• Agents specifically labeled for myocardial infarction
  • Atenolol, metoprolol, propranolol
• Agents specifically labeled for migraine prophylaxis
  • Timolol, propranolol

Propranolol is the only agent indicated for control of tremor, portal hypertension, and esophageal variceal bleeding, and used in conjunction with α-blocker therapy in phaeochromocytoma.
