==Mechanism of Action==
Ocupress (carteolol HCl) reduces normal and elevated [[intraocular pressure]] ([[IOP]]) whether or not accompanied by [[glaucoma]]. The exact mechanism of the ocular hypotensive effect of beta-blockers has not been definitely demonstrated.<BR>
In general, beta-adrenergic blockers reduce [[cardiac output]] in patients in good and poor cardiovascular health. In patients with severe impairment of myocardial function, beta-blockers may inhibit the sympathetic stimulation necessary to maintain adequate cardiac function. Beta-adrenergic blockers may also increase airway resistance in the bronchi and bronchioles due to unopposed parasympathetic activity.
