Beta Blockers
Beta blockers decrease heart rate and blood flow, relaxing blood vessels and reducing pressure.
Beta blockers are taken orally and usually combined with a diuretic. Some popular beta blockers include Sectral, Toprol XL, Corgard, Coreg, Kerlone, Normodyne, Lopressor, Levatol, Visken, and Inderal.
Side effects can include a slowed heart rate, increased blood sugar, nightmares, confusion, reductions in 'good' cholesterol, and impotence.
