BETACARD 25MG TABS

Description

Betacard 25mg Tablet, manufactured by Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd., contains Atenolol, a selective beta-1 adrenergic antagonist. It works by slowing down the heart rate and reducing the force of contraction, leading to lower blood pressure and decreased heart workload. This makes it effective in treating:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Angina pectoris (chest pain)

• Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)

• Post-heart attack recovery

• Thyrotoxicosis (symptoms of hyperthyroidism)

• Migraine prevention

Betacard 25mg Tablet is typically taken once daily, with or without food. It’s important to swallow the tablet whole with water and not to crush or chew it. Consistent use as prescribed by a healthcare provider is essential for optimal results.

Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, slow heart rate, nausea, diarrhea, and cold extremities. These are usually mild and temporary. However, if any side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor. It’s crucial not to stop taking Betacard 25mg Tablet abruptly, as this can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure or heart-related complications.

Before starting Betacard 25mg Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any existing medical conditions, especially asthma, kidney or liver issues, or if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is recommended during treatment.
