BETA-ADRENOCEPTOR ANTAGONISTS (BETA-BLOCKERS)

Beta-blockers vary in the degree of elimination by the kidney or the liver, usually with extensive first-pass metabolism. Lipid-soluble beta-blockers, e.g. labetalol, metoprolol, pindolol and propranolol, typically depend upon hepatic metabolism for clearance, whereas water soluble beta-blockers e.g. atenolol are cleared by the kidney.
