Visken (Pindolol)

Visken (Pindolol) is a prescription medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as beta-blockers. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent angina (chest pain). By reducing the heart rate and the force of the heart muscle's contraction, Visken can decrease blood pressure and alleviate angina symptoms. This medication can also be prescribed for other conditions as determined by your healthcare professional.

Before you buy Visken cream, it is crucial that you talk to your healthcare provider about potential side effects and affordability.
