About Betatrop Tablet

Betatrop Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against the walls of blood vessels.

Betatrop Tablet contains atenolol and nifedipine, which work together to control high blood pressure. It helps relax blood vessels and improves blood flow throughout the body. It also supports better heart function and helps prevent chest pain.

Talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not stop taking Betatrop Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Betatrop Tablet can be prescribed accordingly. Reduce the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your diet.
