Introduction
Mibeta SR 80 Tablet is a medication primarily used to manage anxiety, tremors, migraines, heart-related chest pain (angina), and bleeding in the stomach due to high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). It contains Propranolol, a beta blocker that affects the body's response to nerve impulses, especially in the heart. This medication slows down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body, thus preventing arrhythmias. It also widens blood vessels for better blood flow, preventing angina and migraines. The exact mechanism by which it prevents tremors is not fully understood, but 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. While treating pheochromocytoma, Mibeta SR 80 Tablet may be used to block high-adrenaline hormones, reducing the risk of dangerously high blood pressure during surgery.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Mibeta SR 80 Tablet is to be taken on an empty stomach. Avoid taking it with high-fat meals such as olive oil, nuts & seeds (Brazil nuts), dark chocolate, butter, and meat.
