About Beta 50 mg Tablet

Beta 50 mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), and chest pain with chest tightness (angina pectoris). High blood pressure increases the heart's workload, and if it continues for a long time, the heart and blood vessels (arteries) may not function properly.

Beta 50 mg Tablet contains atenolol, which primarily helps relax our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body.

Sometimes, you may experience headaches, cold hands/feet, diarrhoea, feeling sick (nausea), tiredness, aching muscles, a depressed mood, and dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

Don't stop taking Beta 50 mg Tablet without talking to your doctor first. Stopping Beta 50 mg Tablet gradually may cause heart rhythm and blood pressure changes and cause chest pain or a heart attack. Inform your doctor If you are a pregnant woman or nursing mother. Beta 50 mg Tablet is not recommended for children below 12 years.
