Description

Penbutolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist used primarily in the treatment of hypertension and certain types of heart disease. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels, leading to a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure.
