Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

Your query is not so clear. I assume that you need clarification about beta blockers causing Parkinsonism.

BETA BLOCKERS are class of drug which are commonly used for treatment of blood pressure, migraine, peripheral vascular diseases, anxiety, etc.

In topical form, it is used to treat glaucoma that is increased eye pressure in which patient uses eye drop to lower eye pressure.

Some beta blocker are also used to treat parkinsonism disease, if patient is free from cardiac disease and chronic obstructive disease, but their use is limited because in normal patient they can cause low blood presssure.

Long term use of beta blocker can sometime lead to mild tremors, but that does not come under parkinsonism tremors.

Hope, it answers your query. I will be happy to address any specific queries that you may have.

Please accept my answer in case you do not have follow up queries.

Regards.
