Introduction
Beta Add-TR 40 Capsule is a medication primarily used to decrease anxiety and relieve tremors. It is also effective in preventing migraines, heart-related chest pain (angina), and bleeding in the stomach caused by high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). The active ingredient, Propranolol, is a beta blocker that works by affecting the body's response to nerve impulses, especially in the heart. It slows down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body, thereby preventing arrhythmias. Additionally, it widens blood vessels for better blood flow, which helps prevent angina and migraines. While the exact mechanism for preventing tremors is not fully understood, it is believed to block nerve impulses to the muscles responsible for tremors. Propranolol also blocks the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are responsible for increasing heart rate and anxiety. It is important to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare professional due to potential side effects and interactions with other drugs.
Directions for Use
Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Beta Add-TR 40 Capsule is to be taken on an empty stomach. Avoid Beta Add-TR 40 Capsule with high-fat meals such as olive oil, nuts & seeds (Brazil nuts), dark chocolate, butter, and meat.
How it works
Beta Add-TR 40 Capsule contains Propranolol, a beta blocker. It works by affecting the body’s response to nerve impulses, especially in the heart. It slows down your heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body, preventing arrhythmias. It also widens the blood vessels in the body for better blood flow, thereby preventing angina as well as migraine. The exact mechanism by which it prevents tremors is not known, but experts believe that Beta Add-TR 40 Capsule helps block the nerve impulses to the muscles responsible for tremors. Propranolol helps block the effects of the chemical messengers, namely adrenaline and noradrenaline, that are produced by the brain and are responsible for increasing your heart rate, which makes you feel anxious. This way, it helps with anxiety. While treating pheochromocytoma, Beta Add-TR 40 Capsule may be given to block the action of high-adrenaline hormones to lower the risk of developing dangerously high blood pressure during surgery for removing the tumor.
Quick Tips
It is not the first-choice treatment for high blood pressure according to the latest guidelines. It may hide the symptoms of low blood sugar if you have diabetes. Monitor blood sugar levels regularly. To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as Beta Add-TR 40 Capsule can cause dizziness and sleepiness. Inform your doctor if you notice increased swelling around your legs or ankles, sudden weight gain, or sudden shortness of breath as these may be symptoms of heart failure. Do not stop taking the medication suddenly without talking to your doctor.
