Hi I would like to have the information about the Levobunolol HCl as well as it uses and the side effects of Levobunolol HCl?

[Rajkumar Agarwal]

Levobunolol HCl is a noncardioselective beta-adrenoceptor blocking operator, equipotent at both beta1 and beta2 receptors. Levobunolol HCl is more prominent than 60 times more strong than its dextro isomer in its beta-blocking movement, yet equipotent in its potential for direct myocardial sadness. Likewise, the levo isomer, levobunolol HCl, is utilized. Levobunolol HCl does not have critical nearby soporific (film balancing out) or inherent sympathomimetic action.
