WHAT BETAC IS USED FOR
BETAC is used to treat high blood
pressure
(hypertension)
or
a
certain
type
of
chest
pain
called
Angina
pectoris.
HOW BETAC WORKS
BETAC
is
one
of
a
group
of
medicines called cardioselective beta-
adrenoceptor blocking agents.
It works by affecting the response to
nerve impulses in certain parts of the
body, to relax the blood vessels and
slow
down
the
heart
beat
and
thus
decreases
the
blood
pressure.
When
the
blood
pressure
is
lowered,
the
amount
of
blood
and
oxygen
is
increased to the heart, to avoid heart
pain.
BEFORE YOU USE BETAC
_When you must not use it _
Do not use BETAC if:
▪
you
are
ALLERGIC
to
betaxolol
or
any of the other ingredients of this
medicine
(listed

▪
you have a
HEART OR BLOOD VESSEL
DISEASE (OTHER THAN THE ONE YOU
ARE TAKING BETAC FOR)
▪
you
are
taking
some
medicines
called floctafenine or sultopride
_ _
_Before you start to use it _
Before you take BETAC you should
tell your doctor if:
▪
you
have
asthma
or
other
conditions affecting the respiratory
tract
▪
you have
DIABETES AND YOU ARE
TAKING INSULIN
▪
you have
LIVER
or
RENAL
disease
▪
you
have
THYROIDAL
problems
where the thyroid glands, produce
either too much or too little thyroid
hormones
▪
you have
GLAUCOMA,
a condition of
increased pressure in the eyeball
causing gradual loss of sight
▪
you have PSORIASIS,
a skin disease
causing the skin to be itchy and red
If any of the above applies to you, talk
to your doctor who will decide what to
do.
In
the
case
of
surgery,
you
should
inform the anaesthetist that you take
BETAC.
