How Should I Take Betaloc? And What Are the Potential Side Effects?
Betaloc is a drug used to treat supraventricular tachycardia, and it can also prevent and treat myocardial ischemia, tachycardia, and chest pain in patients with confirmed or suspected acute myocardial infarction. When using this drug, it is necessary to combine it with your own condition, use it correctly, and be aware of possible adverse reactions, such as bradycardia and insomnia.
Intravenous administration of Betaloc should be performed under the guidance of an experienced doctor. At the same time, the patient's blood pressure and electrocardiogram should be carefully monitored, and resuscitation facilities should be available. For supraventricular tachycardia, intravenous administration should start at a rate of 1-2 mg/min, with a maximum dosage of 5 mg (5 ml). If necessary, repeat the injection at intervals of 5 minutes, with a total dosage of 10-15 mg. After 4-6 hours of intravenous administration and the arrhythmia is controlled, oral formulations should be used to maintain the effect, taken 2-3 times a day with a dosage not exceeding 50 mg each time.
1. Causing bradycardia. As Betaloc is a beta-blocker, long-term use may lead to a slowing of the patient's heart rate, ultimately inducing symptoms of bradycardia. Therefore, it is important to actively manage bradycardia and avoid causing harm to the body due to incorrect adjustment.
2. Causing insomnia. As Betaloc can affect the patient's mental state to a certain extent, long-term use may induce problems such as dizziness, insomnia, and depression.
