Betacard 25 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. It is primarily prescribed for managing high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (heart-related chest pain), and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia). Additionally, it helps prevent heart attacks and stroke. Beta-blockers work by blocking the effects of certain chemicals, such as adrenaline, on the heart and blood vessels, which reduces heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and improves blood flow.
Uses
- Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)
- Treatment of Arrhythmia
- Prevention of Heart attack
- Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Benefits of Betacard 25 Tablet
- Treatment of Angina: Relaxes blood vessels and improves oxygen supply to the heart, reducing the frequency of chest pain and allowing better exercise tolerance.
- Management of Arrhythmia: Stabilizes abnormal heart rhythms, particularly atrial fibrillation, by normalizing or slowing the heart rate during episodes.
- Prevention of Heart Attack: Lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart, decreasing the risk of future heart attacks. It can also reduce mortality if administered immediately after a heart attack.
- Treatment of Hypertension: Lowers blood pressure by reducing the force and speed of heart contractions, helping prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney complications.
How Betacard 25 Tablet works
Betacard 25 Tablet is a cardio-selective beta-blocker. It works by:
- Slowing the heart rate, allowing the heart to pump blood more efficiently.
- Reducing the force of heart contractions, which lowers blood pressure.
- Decreasing nervous system excitability, which may contribute to migraine prevention.
The combination of these effects reduces the workload on the heart and protects vital organs from damage caused by high blood pressure or irregular rhythms.
Side effects
- Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
- Cold hands or feet
- Fatigue
- Gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea or diarrhea
- Dizziness
