BETALOC 100MG 10 Tablets

Betaloc 100

Betaloc 100 is a beta-blocker medication that is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart-related chest discomfort (angina), and to protect the heart after a heart attack (myocardial infarction). In addition, it aids in the relief of migraine-related headaches and tremors (fits). The workload of the heart and arteries is increased by high blood pressure.

Hypertension, often known as high blood pressure, is a long-term force exerted by the blood against the arteries that can cause a variety of cardiac problems. It can harm the blood vessels (arteries) of the brain, heart, and kidneys if it goes on for a long time, leading in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure lowers the risk of stroke, heart attack, and chest pain associated with the heart (angina).

By preventing the function of some natural compounds in your body, Betaloc 100 helps to relax your blood arteries. It aids in the lowering of the heart rate, making it simpler to pump more blood throughout the body. This decreases your blood pressure and lowers your chances of having a stroke, heart attack, or other heart or kidney problems in the future. To be effective, this medicine must be used on a regular basis.

Betaloc 100 can be taken orally with or without meals, or according to your doctor’s instructions. For best benefits, Betaloc 100 should be taken at the same time every day. You may have common side effects such as dizziness or exhaustion, chilly hands or feet, sleeping difficulties, and nightmares. These side effects are usually minor and only last a few days. However, if the negative effects do not go away, consult your doctor.

Don’t stop taking Betaloc 100 without first consulting your doctor. Stopping Betaloc 100 suddenly can induce cardiac rhythm and blood pressure fluctuations, as well as chest pain and a heart attack. To help prevent these effects, your doctor will gradually reduce your dose over time. If you have a very sluggish heartbeat, asthma, a significant heart problem (sick sinus syndrome), or a heart obstruction, you should not use Betaloc 100.

Betaloc 100 should not be administered to children under the age of 12 years. If you have a muscle disorder (myasthenia gravis, rhabdomyolysis), a breathing problem (COPD, bronchitis, emphysema), low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), low blood pressure (hypotension), depression, previous heart failure, liver/kidney disease, thyroid hormone disorder, adrenal gland cancer, or circulation problems (Raynaud’s syndrome), tell your doctor before taking Betaloc 100.

Betaloc 100’s Applications

Hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (chest discomfort caused by the heart), arrhythmia (heart rhythm abnormality), and heart attack prevention (myocardial infarction).

Medicinal Advantages

Betaloc 100 works by inhibiting both the beta 1 and beta 2 receptors. Betaloc 100 inhibits the beta 1 receptor, which slows heart rate and reduces the frequency with which the heart pumps blood, lowering blood pressure. Betaloc 100, on the other hand, narrows blood channels in skeletal muscle by blocking beta 2 receptors in the lungs (bronchioles). As a result, your overall blood pressure drops, lowering your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, cardiac difficulties, or renal problems in the future. For the treatment of high blood pressure, Betaloc 100 is used in conjunction with thiazide diuretics (water pills) and other medications. Betaloc 100 also helps to prevent migraines and lowers the symptoms of essential tremor (fits). Betaloc 100 can help treat an overactive thyroid by reducing the symptoms of too much thyroid hormone (thyrotoxicosis) and can be used in conjunction with other thyroid medications.

Use Instructions

Betaloc 100 can be taken orally, with or without meals, or according to your doctor’s instructions. With around a glass of water, swallow the entire tablet. It should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. To get the best benefits, take the medication at the same time every day. Never take an overdose to compensate for a missed dosage.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.

Betaloc 100 Side Effects

Betaloc 100, like other drugs, may produce negative effects. These adverse effects, however, may be modest and only last a short time. Headache, fatigue, sleep disturbances, dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, numbness, tingling sensation in the skin, increased skin sensitivity to the sun (hyperpigmentation), sweating, hair loss, increased weight, and lower back pain are some of the most common side effects. However, if the negative effects do not go away or if you encounter any new side effects while taking Betaloc 100, consult your doctor.

Drug Recommendations

Do not discontinue taking Metoprolol without first consulting your doctor. Metoprolol withdrawal might cause changes in your heart rhythm and blood pressure, as well as chest pain and a heart attack. To help prevent these effects, your doctor will gradually reduce your dose over time. If you have a very slow heartbeat, a major lung ailment (such as asthma), a serious heart problem (such as sick sinus syndrome), or a heart blockage, you should not use Metoprolol. It should not be administered to youngsters under the age of twelve. If you have a muscle disorder (myasthenia gravis, rhabdomyolysis), a breathing problem (COPD, bronchitis, emphysema), low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), low blood pressure (hypotension), depression, previous heart failure, liver/kidney disease, thyroid hormone disorder (hyperthyroidism), adrenal gland cancer, or severe blood circulation problem (Raynaud’s syndrome), tell your doctor before taking

Interactions Between Drugs

Interactions between drugs: Metoprolol can cause a hazardous decline in heart rate when combined with other blood pressure medications or beta-blockers (acebutolol, atenolol, bisoprolol, carteolol, esmolol, metoprolol, nadolol, nebivolol, or sotalol). Apart from that, Metoprolol should not be combined with other blood pressure medications (lisinopril, enalapril, diltiazem, prazosin, terazosin, doxazosin), asthma medications (theophylline, aminophylline), pain relievers, antifungals (terbinafine), anticancer (aldesleukin), blood thinners (dipyridamole), antibiotics (rif (amiodarone, propafenone, quinidine, disopyramide, tocainide, procainamide, ajmaline, flecainide, digitalis glycosides such as digoxin, lidocaine). Before taking Metoprolol, tell your doctor if you are taking any of these medications.

Metoprolol has a strong interaction with grapefruit and foods that are high in protein. Combining Metoprolol with ayurveda, homeopathic, unani, herbal supplements, or any other OTC item may reduce Metoprolol’s effects. As a result, at least 2 hours should pass between the administration of Metoprolol and the use of these items.

People with diabetes, thyroid disease, asthma, cardiogenic shock (when the heart fails to pump enough blood to the body), heart valve problems (stenosis), low blood pressure (hypotension), coronary heart disease, liver disease, or heart failure should not use metoprolol.

Cautionary Note

ALCOHOL

Drinking alcohol can make you weary, drop your blood pressure, and make you dizzy or sleepy. So, if you’re taking Metoprolol, stay away from it.

PREGNANCY

Unless your doctor deems it necessary, metoprolol is not suggested during pregnancy. Before prescribing it to you, your doctor will consider the advantages as well as any potential hazards.

BREAST FEEDING

Metoprolol is found in small levels in breast milk. However, this is insufficient to cause any complications for your child. However, before breastfeeding your infant, you should consult your doctor.

DRIVING

Advice on Diet and Lifestyle

With a BMI of 19.5-24.9, you can keep your weight under control.

Do at least 150 minutes of regular physical activity or exercise every week, or around 30 minutes most days of the week. This can help you lower your high blood pressure by roughly 5 millimeters of mercury.

Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products are all good choices for a healthy diet.

For most adults, limiting sodium chloride (table salt) intake to 2300 mg per day or less than 1500 mg per day is optimum.

If you drink alcohol, limit yourself to one serving for women and two servings for males.

The best way to reduce your risk of heart disease is to stop smoking.

Chronic stress can raise your blood pressure, so avoid it. To cope with stress and practice mindfulness techniques, try to appreciate and spend time with your loved ones.

Monitor your blood pressure on a daily basis, and if it fluctuates too much, contact your doctor right away.

Include heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acid-rich foods and beverages in your daily diet. Low-fat cooking oils such as olive oil, soybean oil, canola oil, and coconut oil can also assist to lower your blood pressure.

Recommendations

Because it may make you dizzy, your doctor may advise you to take your first dosage before bedtime. Take metoprolol in the morning if you don’t feel dizzy after the first dosage. If you use metoprolol more than once a day, attempt to spread out your dosages throughout the day.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Hypertension, often known as high blood pressure, is a chronic illness in which the heart’s workload and blood pressure are both too high. Hardened arteries (blood vessels) can develop as a result of this illness, reducing blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Angina (chest pain) and heart attack can both be caused by high blood pressure (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). High blood pressure can potentially lead to brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. A blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer can be used to detect high blood pressure. The pressure created when the heart pumps blood out is known as systolic pressure. Diastolic pressure, on the other hand, is the pressure in your heart while it is at rest between heartbeats. The systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg, and the diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg if your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg. The ideal blood pressure range is 90/60 mm Hg and 120/80 mm Hg.

FAQs

It is recommended that you continue taking your medicine even if your blood pressure has stabilized or returned to normal, as blood pressure can spike at any time. If you have any discomfort, please see your doctor right away.

Metoprolol is typically administered for a long-term treatment of weeks to months to treat heart-related diseases and disorders. However, using it without a doctor’s permission for years can be lethal. As a result, just take it for as long as your doctor has suggested.

Because Metoprolol reduces blood pressure when taken with general anesthesia before surgery, your doctor may advise you to stop taking it.

Metoprolol and alcoholic beverages should be avoided or limited together since they can reduce your blood pressure and cause dizziness or sleepiness.

Because Metoprolol can cause an increase in blood potassium levels, potassium-rich foods and supplements should be avoided while taking it to avoid any negative side effects.

If you’re taking Metoprolol, you can still participate in sports, but don’t push yourself too much. Regular exercise decreases high blood pressure by maintaining the health of your heart and blood vessels.

Before undergoing any major surgery, inform your doctor if you are on Metoprolol. You should stop taking Metoprolol at least one day before surgery, according to your doctor.
