PRODUCT MONOGRAPH PR VISKEN® pindolol tablets USP 5 and 10 mg Antihypertensive / Antianginal agent Xediton Pharmaceuticals Inc. Date of Revision: 2000 Argentia Road, Building 4, Suite 495 May 14, 2021 Mississauga, Ontario L5N 1W1 Control No.: 251556 NAME OF DRUG Pr VISKEN® pindolol tablets USP 5 and 10 mg THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION Antihypertensive/Antianginal Agent ACTIONS VISKEN® (pindolol) is a ß-adrenergic-receptor-blocking agent which possesses partial agonist activity (intrinsic sympathomimetic activity - I.S.A.). It is used in the treatment of hypertension and/or the prophylaxis of angina pectoris. Hypertension The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of pindolol has not been established. Among the factors that may be involved are: a) competitive ability to antagonize catecholamine-induced tachycardia at the ß-receptor sites in the heart, thus decreasing cardiac output b) a reduction in total peripheral resistance c) inhibition of the vasomotor centres d) inhibition of renin release by the kidneys Angina Pectoris The mechanism of the antianginal effect of pindolol has not been established. VISKEN® may reduce the oxygen requirement of the heart at any level of effort by blocking catecholamine- induced increases in the heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and the velocity and extent of myocardial contraction. However, oxygen requirements may be increased by such actions as increases in left ventricular fibre length, end diastolic pressure and the systolic ejection period. - 2 - When the net effect is beneficial in patients with angina, it manifests itself during exercise or stress by delaying the onset of pain and reducing the incidence and severity of anginal attacks. In man, orally-administered pindolol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed (≥95%) from the gastrointestinal tract. The mean absolute bioavailability after oral administration is about 87- 92%.
