FAQ's on Betapro 60mg Capsule SR

Can Betapro be used in asthmatics?

No, Betapro cannot be used in asthmatics. Betapro is a non-specific beta receptor blocker. Using Betapro in asthma patients can cause breathing problems, which may trigger an asthma attack.

My doctor has prescribed Betapro even though my blood pressure is within normal limits. Is it because of the chest pain that I complained of?

Yes, it is possible that your doctor prescribed Betapro for chest pain (angina). Betapro is a beta-blocker which is used to lower high blood pressure, prevent angina, treat or prevent heart attacks or reduce your risk of heart problems following a heart attack. Betapro is also used to treat irregularities in heartbeat, including those caused by anxiety, essential tremor (shaking of head, chin and hands). It also prevents migraine headaches, overactive thyroid (thyrotoxicosis and hyperthyroidism) and bleeding in the food pipe caused by high blood pressure.

Is Betapro good for anxiety?

Yes, Betapro helps relieve your physical symptoms of anxiety. The dose and duration of taking Betapro will be suggested by your doctor, depending on whether your symptoms are a recurring problem or occur only in stressful conditions. However, Betapro is usually given for a short time for anxiety.

When can I expect a relief in my symptoms after starting Betapro for high blood pressure?

Betapro usually starts working within a few hours of taking it. However, it may take up to a week to see the full benefits of the symptoms of high blood pressure or heart conditions. You may not notice any difference, but that does not mean it is not working. For migraine, it may take a few weeks before you notice any difference, so keep taking the medicine.

I have been on Indomethacin for several months. Will it be a problem if I start taking Betapro along with it?

Yes, Indomethacin may interfere with the working of Betapro and make it less effective. As a result, your blood pressure may increase. Speak to your doctor who will prescribe you a different medicine to control blood pressure.

Can I take fluoxetine with Betapro?

No, you should avoid taking fluoxetine with Betapro. This is because fluoxetine may cause an increase in the levels of Betapro in the body which may increase its toxicity.

Can I stop taking Betapro as my chest pain is under control?
