FAQ's on Bptab 40mg Tablet

Is Bptab good for anxiety?

Yes, Bptab helps relieve your physical symptoms of anxiety. The dose and duration of taking Bptab will be suggested by your doctor, depending on whether your symptoms are a recurring problem or occur only in stressful conditions. However, Bptab is usually given for a short time for anxiety.

When can I expect a relief in my symptoms after starting Bptab for high blood pressure?

Bptab usually starts working within a few hours of taking it. However, it may take up to a week to see the full benefits of the symptoms of high blood pressure or heart conditions. You may not notice any difference, but that does not mean it is not working. For migraine, it may take a few weeks before you notice any difference, so keep taking the medicine.

Can I stop taking Bptab as my chest pain is under control?

No, you should not stop taking Bptab suddenly because that may worsen your angina or may cause a heart attack. Tell your doctor and if there is a need to stop Bptab, your doctor will reduce your dose gradually over a period of a few weeks.

Can I take fluoxetine with Bptab?

No, you should avoid taking fluoxetine with Bptab. This is because fluoxetine may cause an increase in the levels of Bptab in the body which may increase its toxicity.

Can Bptab be used in asthmatics?

No, Bptab cannot be used in asthmatics. Bptab is a non-specific beta receptor blocker. Using Bptab in asthma patients can cause breathing problems, which may trigger an asthma attack.

I have been on Indomethacin for several months. Will it be a problem if I start taking Bptab along with it?

Yes, Indomethacin may interfere with the working of Bptab and make it less effective. As a result, your blood pressure may increase. Speak to your doctor who will prescribe you a different medicine to control blood pressure.

My doctor has prescribed Bptab even though my blood pressure is within normal limits. Is it because of the chest pain that I complained of?

Yes, it is possible that your doctor prescribed Bptab for chest pain (angina). Bptab is a beta-blocker which is used to lower high blood pressure, prevent angina, treat or prevent heart attacks or reduce your risk of heart problems following a heart attack.
