Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Betatrop Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Cold hands and feet: If this occurs, consider taking this medicine at bedtime.

Betatrop Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to effectively manage cardiovascular conditions:

Atenolol (50 mg): This beta-blocker works by reducing your heart rate and decreasing the force of your heart contractions. By doing so, it lessens the workload on your heart and lowers your blood pressure, helping to control hypertension.
Nifedipine (20 mg): This calcium channel blocker relaxes the muscles of your heart and blood vessels. It widens, or dilates, your arteries, which improves blood flow and further reduces blood pressure. This action aids in managing angina and the aftermath of a heart attack.

Caution is advised while taking Betatrop Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Betatrop Tablet should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the risk to the baby. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
