Uses
Hypertension TEVA-PINDOLOL (pindolol) is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension. Pindolol is usually used in combination with other drugs, particularly a thiazide diuretic. However, it may be used alone as an initial agent in those patients in whom, in the judgment of the physician, treatment should be started with a β-blocker rather than a diuretic.
The combination of pindolol with a diuretic and/or peripheral vasodilator has been found to be compatible and generally more effective than pindolol alone. Limited experience with other antihypertensive agents, including methyldopa, has not shown evidence of incompatibility with pindolol.
TEVA-PINDOLOL is not recommended for the emergency treatment of hypertensive crises. Angina Pectoris TEVA-PINDOLOL is indicated for the prophylaxis (prevention) of angina pectoris. CONTRAINDICATIONS TEVA-PINDOLOL (pindolol) is contraindicated in: Patients who are hypersensitive to this drug or to any ingredient in the formulation.
