The drug may cause your blood sugar level to drop that eventually worsens your condition if you are a diabetic patient. It may also increase the frequency of urination, make you feel thirsty or dehydrated. Pindolol is not recommended to breastfeeding mothers because the drug is excreted in human milk that passes onto the infant causing severe health complications. The medicine may increase dizziness and light-headedness. It is advisable to stay off alcohol, caffeine, smoking and tobacco during the course of the treatment.
