Benzo Beta Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Clonazepam and Propranolol. Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of GABA, a chemical messenger which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in brain. Propranolol is a beta blocker which blocks the action of certain chemical messengers on the heart and blood vessels. This reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall. If you are due to have an operation or dental treatment, it is important to tell the person carrying out the treatment that you are taking. Try to keep your regular appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can check on your progress.
