Betacap TR 80 Capsule

Betacap TR 80 Capsule is a prolonged-release propranolol capsule used to help manage certain heart and blood pressure conditions. Each Betacap TR 80 Capsule contains propranolol 80 mg, a non-selective beta-blocker. It may be prescribed for high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), heart rhythm control, and other doctor-directed uses. Because this is an 80 mg strength, it is a higher-strength capsule that should be used only when a prescriber has decided it is appropriate.

How it works: Propranolol blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, which slows the heart rate and reduces the heart’s workload. In the capsule form of Betacap TR 80, the medicine is released gradually so its effect lasts longer and blood levels stay more even.

Betacap TR 80 Capsule is not the same as the lower-strength Betacap 20 Tablet; it delivers 80 mg of propranolol in a prolonged-release capsule, so it is usually chosen when a doctor wants a stronger dose or a steadier release over time. Compared with a standard tablet, this capsule form is designed to release medicine gradually, which may help maintain more even symptom control through the day. It is suited for patients already assessed by a clinician, especially when lower strengths are not enough or a longer-acting option is preferred.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Heart rhythm problems
• Migraine prevention
• Tremor control
• Other doctor-directed cardiovascular uses

• Swallow Betacap TR 80 Capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Take it at the same time each day so the prolonged-release capsule works consistently.
• You can usually take it with or without food, but taking it the same way each time may help consistency.
• Do not stop Betacap TR 80 Capsule suddenly, especially if you take it for heart conditions; your doctor may need to taper it.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow the exact schedule your clinician gives you, since this 80 mg strength is not a typical starting dose for many patients.

Each Betacap TR 80 Capsule provides propranolol 80 mg in a prolonged-release capsule. It may be taken once daily or divided into multiple doses depending on the condition and the prescriber’s plan, but the exact frequency is individualized. There is no single maximum daily dose that fits everyone; your doctor sets the dose and adjusts it based on response, tolerance, and your medical history.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Propranolol may include:

• Tiredness or weakness
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Slow heart rate
• Cold hands or feet
• Nausea or stomach upset
• Sleep changes or vivid dreams

• This 80 mg capsule is a higher-strength propranolol product and may cause more noticeable slowing of the pulse or blood pressure drop in sensitive patients.
• Use caution if you have asthma, COPD, or other breathing problems, because propranolol can narrow airways.
• Do not stop Betacap TR 80 Capsule suddenly, as abrupt withdrawal can worsen chest pain or trigger heart rhythm problems.
• Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, because propranolol can mask signs of low blood sugar such as a fast heartbeat.
• Use caution with alcohol, which may increase dizziness or make you feel more lightheaded.
• Be careful driving or using machinery until you know how this capsule affects you.
• Tell your prescriber about any history of heart block, very slow pulse, or heart failure before starting this strength.

• Other blood pressure medicines, especially calcium channel blockers or clonidine
• Digoxin or other medicines that can slow the heart rate
• Insulin or diabetes medicines, because propranolol can mask low blood sugar symptoms
• Antiarrhythmic medicines such as amiodarone or flecainide
• Alcohol, which may worsen dizziness with the capsule
