Pindolol
Identification
- Summary
Pindolol is a beta adrenoceptor antagonist used to treat hypertension, edema, ventricular tachycardias, and atrial fibrillation.
- Brand Names
- Viskazide, Visken
- Generic Name
- Pindolol
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB00960
- Background
Pindolol is a first generation non-selective beta blocker used in the treatment of hypertension.9 Early research into the use of pindolol found it had chronotropic effects, and so further investigation focused on the treatment of arrhythmia.6 Research into pindolol's use in the treatment of hypertension began in the early 1970s.7
Pindolol was granted FDA approval on 3 September 1982.8

- Pharmacodynamics
Pindolol is a nonselective beta blocker indicated in the management of hypertension9 and prophylaxis of angina.10 It has a short duration of action as it is given twice daily, and a wide therapeutic window as doses can range from 10-60 mg/day.9 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of cardiac failure, exacerbating ischemic heart disease with sudden withdrawal, nonallergic bronchospasm, masking hypoglycemia in diabetics, and masking hyperthyroidism.9
- Mechanism of action
The beta-1 adrenoceptor is a G-protein-coupled receptor.1 Agonism of the beta-1 adrenoceptor allows the Gs subunit to upregulate adenylyl cyclase, converting ATP to cyclic AMP (cAMP).1 Increased concentrations of cAMP activate cAMP-dependant kinase A, phosphorylating calcium channels, raising intracellular calcium, increasing calcium exchange through the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and increasing cardiac inotropy.1 cAMP-dependant kinase A also phosphorylates myosin light chains, increasing smooth muscle contractility.1 Increased smooth muscle contractility in the kidney releases renin.1
Pindolol is a non-selective beta blocker.3 Blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart results in decreased heart rate and blood pressure.3 By blocking beta-1 receptors in the juxtaglomerular apparatus, pindolol inhibits the release of renin, which inhibits angiotensin II and aldosterone release.1,2 Reduced angiotensin II inhibits vasoconstriction and reduced aldosterone inhibits water retention.1,2
Beta-2 adrenoceptors located in the kidneys and peripheral blood vessels use a similar mechanism to activate cAMP-dependant kinase A to increase smooth muscle contractility.4 Blocking of the beta-2 adrenoceptor relaxes smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation.4

The mean oral bioavailability of pindolol is 87-92%.10 A 5 mg oral dose reaches a Cmax of 33.1 ± 5.2 ng/mL, with a Tmax of 1-2 hours.10
- Volume of distribution
The volume of distribution of pindolol is approximately 2-3 L/kg.9,10
- Protein binding
Pindolol is 40% bound to proteins in plasma.9 Pindolol mainly binds more strongly to alpha-1-acid glycoprotein than it does to serum albumin.5
- Metabolism
30-40% of a dose of pindolol is not metabolized.10 The remainder is hydroxylated and subsequently undergoes glucuronidation or sulfate conjugation.10
Hover over products below to view reaction partners
- Route of elimination
80% of an oral dose is eliminated in the urine,10 with 25-40% of the dose as the unchanged parent compound.9 6-9% of an intravenous dose is eliminated in the feces.9 Overall, 60-65% of a dose is eliminated as glucuronide and sulfate metabolites.9
- Half-life
The half life of pindolol varies from 3-4 hours10 but can be as high as 30 hours in patients with cirrhosis of the liver.9
- Clearance
In otherwise healthy patients, the systemic clearance of pindolol is 400-500 mL/min.10 In patients with cirrhosis, the clearance of pindolol varies from 50-300 mL/min.9

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your software1,2-Benzodiazepine The risk or severity of CNS depression can be increased when Pindolol is combined with 1,2-Benzodiazepine. Abacavir Pindolol may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level. Abaloparatide The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Pindolol is combined with Abaloparatide. Abatacept The metabolism of Pindolol can be increased when combined with Abatacept. Abiraterone The metabolism of Pindolol can be decreased when combined with Abiraterone. - Food Interactions
- Avoid alcohol. Alcohol may aggravate signs and symptoms of overdose.
