FAQ's on Zolol SR 40mg Capsule

My doctor has prescribed Zolol 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 Zolol for chest pain (angina). Zolol 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. Zolol is also used to treat irregularities in heartbeat, including those caused by anxiety, essential tremor (shaking of head, chin and hands). It also prevents migraine headaches, overactive thyroid (thyrotoxicosis and hyperthyroidism) and bleeding in the food pipe caused by high blood pressure.

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

Zolol 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 Zolol as my chest pain is under control?

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

Can I take fluoxetine with Zolol?

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

Can Zolol be used in asthmatics?

No, Zolol cannot be used in asthmatics. Zolol is a non-specific beta receptor blocker. Using Zolol 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 Zolol along with it?

Yes, Indomethacin may interfere with the working of Zolol 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.

Is Zolol good for anxiety?

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