Betaxolol is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist (beta-blocker) used primarily to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and lower fluid pressure inside the eyes caused by open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By selectively blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart, it slows down the heart rate and decreases cardiac contractility, effectively lowering systemic blood pressure. When formulated as an eye drop, it targets the eye locally to reduce the secretion of aqueous humor, minimizing intraocular pressure
