Celiprolol is primarily prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). It may also be used in some cases for management of angina (chest pain) and certain heart rhythm disorders.
As a beta-blocker, celiprolol works by blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, which reduces heart rate and the force of heart contractions. Its unique beta-2 agonist activity also helps dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
Common side effects may include fatigue, dizziness, and cold extremities. It should not be stopped abruptly as this can worsen heart conditions. Patients with asthma, certain heart conditions, or severe bradycardia should use this medication with caution or avoid it entirely.
