Clinical information
Celiprolol is a moderately effective antagonist of β 1 -adrenoceptors and a partial agonist of β 2 -adrenoceptors , with a half-life of four to twelve hours and a duration of action of up to one day. The bioavailability of Celiprolol is 50%. As a β 2 -adrenoceptor agonist, celiprolol actively leads to vasodilation of peripheral vessels. Elimination occurs mainly through the kidneys. Use in the presence of severe renal insufficiency is contraindicated .
Other Information
The peculiarity of celiprolol and some other beta blockers ( acebutolol , oxprenolol and pindolol ) is their intrinsic sympathomimetic activity ( ISA , see intrinsic activity ).
