Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 may cause fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, cold extremities (hands and feet feeling unusually cold), bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate), and gastrointestinal upset.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless and are resolved by discontinuing the use of Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Gastrointestinal upset: Taking Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 with meals can help reduce stomach discomfort.
Fatigue: Consider taking this medicine at bedtime if it makes you feel tired during the day.
Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 contains propranolol (40 mg), which works on the body as follows:
Beta-receptor blockade: Propranolol blocks both β1 and β2-adrenergic receptors, preventing adrenaline and similar substances from attaching to these receptors in your heart and blood vessels.
Reduced heart activity: By blocking these receptors, propranolol decreases your heart rate (negative chronotropy) and reduces the force of heart contractions (negative inotropy), which helps lower blood pressure and oxygen demand.
Blood pressure reduction: Propranolol lowers blood pressure by decreasing cardiac output, inhibiting renin release from the kidneys, and reducing sympathetic signals from the central nervous system.
Membrane stabilisation: Propranolol has membrane-stabilising properties that contribute to its effectiveness in controlling irregular heart rhythms (antiarrhythmic effects).
Caution is advised while taking Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Caution is advised while taking Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 if you are breastfeeding. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10, as it may increase the risk of side effects like dizziness and low blood pressure. Your doctor may provide specific guidance based on your condition.
Caution is advised while taking Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 in case of liver problems. The medicine may affect how your liver processes medications. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose if you have liver impairment.
Caution is advised before using Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 if you have a history of any kidney problems. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Be careful when driving or operating machinery while taking Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10, especially when you first start treatment. The medicine may cause dizziness or fatigue that could affect your concentration and reaction time.
If you have any known allergies, especially to propranolol or similar medicines called beta blockers, inform your doctor before taking Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10. Allergic reactions can be serious and require immediate medical attention.

Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 interacts with the following medicines:
Antihypertensives: Medicines like nitrates and other blood pressure medicines can increase the risk of low blood pressure (hypotension) and slow heart rate (bradycardia) when taken with Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10.
Antiarrhythmics: When taken with heart rhythm medicines like lidocaine and amiodarone, Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 may alter their effects in the body, potentially increasing their concentration.
Diabetes medicines: Propranolol can mask symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) and increase the risk of hypoglycaemia when taken with insulin or oral hypoglycaemics like metformin.
Bronchodilators: Bocker 40 Er Tablet 10 can reduce the effectiveness of beta-2 agonist bronchodilators such as salbutamol and formoterol.
