Yepiblok XL 50 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart-related chest pain (angina), irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia), and to protect the heart after a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Besides this, it may also help in relieving symptoms of migraine-related headache and tremors (fits).

This lowers the blood pressure and helps in reducing the risk of having a stroke, heart attack, or other heart or kidney problems in the future. In some cases, it may cause certain common side effects like dizziness, tiredness, diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea, and headache.
