ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Levobunolol HCl is a noncardioselective beta-adrenoceptor antagonist,
equipotent at both beta
1
and beta
2
receptors. Levobunolol is approximately 60 times more potent than the
dextro isomer
of bunolol in its beta-blocking activity, yet equipotent in its
potential for direct myocardial
depression. Accordingly, the levo isomer, levobunolol, is used.
Levobunolol does not have a
significant local anesthetic (membrane stabilizing) effect or
intrinsic sympathomimimetic
activity.
Beta-adrenergic receptor blockade reduces cardiac output in both
healthy subjects and patients
with heart disease. In patients with severe impairment of myocardial
function, beta-adrenergic
receptor blockade may inhibit the stimulatory effect of the
sympathetic nervous system necessary
to maintain adequate cardiac function.
Beta-adrenergic receptor blockade in the bronchi and bronchioles
results in increased airway
resistance from unopposed parasympathetic activity. Such an effect in
patients with asthma or
other bronchospastic conditions is potentially dangerous.
Levobunolol, when instilled into the eye, will lower elevated
intraocular pressure as well as
normal IOP, whether or not accompanied by glaucoma. Elevated
intraocular pressure is a major
risk factor in the pathogenesis of glaucomatous visual field loss. The
higher the level of
intraocular pressure, the greater the likelihood of optic nerve damage
and visual field loss.
The onset of action with one drop of levobunolol can be detected
within one hour after treatment,
with maximum effect seen betwe
