CompositionLABETAMAC Tablet 10 is a medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), including raised blood pressure during pregnancy or anaesthesia. Keeping blood pressure under control helps lower the risk of serious problems such as heart attack and stroke.
It belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers, and it also relaxes blood vessels (an alpha and beta-blocker). It works by slowing the heart rate and easing the workload on the heart, helping it pump more efficiently. Take it consistently at the same time each day, and never stop it abruptly, as this can cause a sudden spike in blood pressure.
Healthy lifestyle changes support treatment alongside this medicine. These include reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active as advised, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have asthma or breathing problems, a slow heart rate, heart rhythm problems, or diabetes, or are taking other medicines. Rise slowly to reduce dizziness, especially when you first start treatment, and tell your doctor about a very slow heartbeat or fainting.
