Mode of Action
Betaxolol is a cardioselective beta-blocker which has greater affinity for beta1-receptors and has little or no effect on beta2-receptors. It lacks intrinsic sympathomimetic but has little membrane-stabilising activity. It also causes the reduction of intraocular pressure by decreasing the production of aqueous humour.
