About Betaplex Tablet
Betaplex Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), moderate to severe heart failure, and angina (heart-related chest pain). Besides this, Betaplex Tablet also reduces the risk of heart attack or stroke in adults.
Betaplex Tablet contains Carvedilol, which acts by relaxing blood vessels. Thus, it lowers the raised blood pressure and keeps the heart beating slowly and with less force, reducing the risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, or other heart problems.
In some cases, you may experience diarrhoea, headache, weight gain, tiredness, dizziness, or low blood pressure. Most of these side effects of Betaplex Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Betaplex Tablet or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Betaplex Tablet is not recommended for children below 18 years of age. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Betaplex Tablet .
