Differential effects of timolol and metoprolol on platelet function at rest and during exercise.

Ten male patients suffering from stable angina pectoris were studied at rest and immediately after exercise during treatment either with timolol (a non-selective beta-blocker) or with metoprolol (a beta 1-selective blocker). Timolol induced a significant increase in platelet aggregation and a reduction in platelet cyclic AMP, and it also raised the plasma adrenaline at rest and during exercise as compared to the pre-treatment level. Metoprolol had none of these effects. Prior to medication and during metoprolol treatment, exercise led to an increase in the peripheral platelet count, whereas timolol was associated with a reduction of platelets during physical effort. Neither drug affected platelet thromboxane B2 at rest. During exercise, its level was not affected in the pre-treatment period or during metoprolol treatment but it was sharply increased by timolol therapy.[1]
