Side Effects
Be sure to tell your health-care practitioner if you experience any side effects while taking betaxolol. Only your health-care practitioner can determine whether it is safe for you to continue taking this drug. Even though the ophthalmic form of betaxolol is administered into the eye, the drug does get into the bloodstream, so it can affect other parts of the body.

- Less Common: blurred vision, poor night vision, increased sensitivity to light, headache, insomnia, sinus irritation, taste changes
Oral Form
- More Common: impotence, dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when rising suddenly from a lying or sitting position, palpitations, frequent headaches
- Less Common: unusual tiredness or weakness, slow heartbeat, congestive heart failure, depression, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, urinary problems, blurred vision, rash, hair loss, stuffy nose, chest pain, joint or back pain, liver toxicity, drug allergy (fever, sore throat), nervousness
