How betacap tablet works

Betacap 10 Tablet 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. This prevents arrhythmias. It also widens the blood vessels in the body for better blood flow, thereby preventing angina as well as migraine. 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, Betacap 10 Tablet 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.
