CompositionPOPTR 40 MG Tablet 10 is a medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), chest pain (angina), and irregular heart rhythms. It is also used to help prevent migraine attacks and to ease the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as trembling and a racing heart.
It belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. It works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the pressure in the arteries. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food. It is important not to stop this medicine suddenly, as this can cause a sharp rise in heart rate and blood pressure.
Healthy lifestyle changes support treatment alongside this medicine. These include reducing salt in your diet, staying active as advised, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting caffeine if it worsens your symptoms.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have asthma or breathing problems, diabetes, circulation problems, or a history of heart block, or are taking other medicines. For migraine, this medicine is used to prevent attacks rather than to treat a headache that has already started.
