Hypertension
Hello Doctor, I was having high blood pressure so that doctor has advised me to take Betacap tr 40 mg, since I was Visiting to hospital regularly on 3 months once, doctor reduced my BETACAP tr mg , my blood pressure is normal and I feel good enough now. Now it's almost 4 to 5 years now I m eating BETACAP TR 40MG every alternate day.
Due to lockdown and work from home I couldn't visit doctor since from last year. But I m continuing eating tablet every alternative day.
Now can you please confirm me using BETACAP TR 40MG longer duration any side effects? Do you feel that I should have stop that medicine or shall I start using that tablet weekly twice now .

You should not change the frequency or dosage of your medication as per your convenience without consulting a physician. Antihypertensives are prescribed on long term basis and should be adhered to. Kindly do thrice daily bp monitoring and maintain a chart. Book a consultation through practo or through whatsap on 62963*44728 for further advice.

Absolutely the wrong medication for blood pressure. It’s outdated and has side effects such as lethargy. For your age you should be on a different tablet. And need to investigate why you have high bp at this age.
