About Chericof Softgel Capsule
Chericof Softgel Capsule belongs to a class of antiarrhythmic medicines used to treat irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) and protect the heart during the early stages after a heart attack (myocardial infarction), which occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough blood and oxygen.
Chericof Softgel Capsule contains Atenolol, which works by blocking certain natural substances in the heart and blood vessels. This slows the heart rate and reduces blood pressure, lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.
Chericof Softgel Capsule is administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Some people may experience cold hands or feet, diarrhoea, nausea, or tiredness. These side effects usually resolve over time, but consult your doctor if they persist or worsen.
Before using Chericof Softgel Capsule , inform your doctor if you have any allergies to its ingredients, are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. For pediatric use, the dose and duration must be determined by a paediatrician and administered under strict medical supervision. Additionally, provide your doctor with your complete medical history and details of any current medications to minimise the risk of adverse effects or drug interactions.
