Treatment of Pheochromocytoma

Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)


Benefits of Betacap 10mg Tablet:


In Treatment of Pheochromocytoma:


During surgery for the removal of pheochromocytoma, there is a risk of abnormally high blood pressure. Betacap 10 Tablet blocks the effect of certain chemicals on your heart and blood vessels. This slows down the heart rate and reduces the heartbeat with less force thereby lowering your blood pressure. It is used for the rapid reduction of extremely high blood pressure (hypertensive crisis). Controlled blood pressure reduces the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems.


In Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure):


Betacap 10 Tablet relaxes the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily around your body. This lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of suffering a heart attack, a myocardial infarction, or kidney problems in the future. You typically feel no immediate benefit from taking this medication, but it works in the long term to keep you well. You should take it regularly as prescribed for this medication to be effective, even if you feel improved.


Mechanism of action of Betacap 10mg Tablet:


Betacap 10 Tablet contains Propranolol, a beta blocker. It works by affecting the body's response to nerve impulses, especially in the heart. It slows down your heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. This prevents arrhythmias. It also widens the blood vessels in the body for better blood flow, thus preventing angina as well as migraine. The exact mechanism by which it prevents tremors is not known, but doctors believe that Betacap 10 Tablet helps block the nerve impulses to the muscles responsible for tremors. Propranolol helps block the effects of the chemical messengers namely adrenaline and noradrenaline, that are released by the brain and are responsible for increasing your heart rate which makes you feel anxious. This way it helps with anxiety. While treating pheochromocytoma, Betacap 10 Tablet may be given to block the action of high-adrenaline hormones, to lower the risk of developing dangerously high blood pressure during surgery for removing the tumor.
