(Betaxolol Hydrochloride)

The active ingredient in Kerlone is betaxolol hydrochloride, a cardioselective beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent. The beta-blocker drug class works by relaxing blood vessels, reducing blood pressure, and heart rate.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Kerlone. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Kerlone:

1. Those with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels more regularly, as this medication can mask the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

2. Until you know how this medication affects you, avoid driving a car or operating heavy machinery, in case you experience dizziness.

3. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medication, as this can increase the side effects of drowsiness or lightheadedness.

4. This medication should not be discontinued suddenly, as this has been known to cause hypersensitivity to future beta-adrenergic therapy, worsening angina, and heart attacks.

Some mild and common side effects of betaxolol seen in clinical trials include:

• Slow heart rate (bradycardia).
• Fatigue.
• Impotence.
• Rhinitis (runny nose).

• Worsening heart failure symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid weight gain, fatigue, and leg edema (swelling).
• Acute bronchospasm, which would feel like chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, lightheadedness, and extreme fatigue.
• Serious life-threatening allergic reactions, which may present as skin rash, hives, swelling of the face, mouth, or tongue, and/ or trouble breathing (anaphylaxis).

These are not all of the possible adverse reactions of Kerlone. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment.

When Kerlone is taken with other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements, it may change how they work or increase the frequency or severity of side effects. Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions.

• Digoxin and reserpine, a catecholamine-depleting drug, may worsen the slow heart rate, dizziness, and hypotension felt when you are taking Kerlone.
• Betaxolol may worsen withdrawal from clonidine.
• Amiodarone and other antiarrhythmics may worsen a slow heart rate when taken with Kerlone.
• Epinephrine may not be as effective in treating allergic reactions when you are taking betaxolol.
