Mibeta SR 40 Tablet

Mibeta SR 40 Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains propranolol 40 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the beta-blocker class and is used to help manage conditions such as high blood pressure, certain heart rhythm problems, chest pain, and prevention of migraine. Mibeta SR 40 Tablet may also be prescribed for other doctor-directed uses where slowing the heart and lowering its workload is helpful. This tablet is a sustained-release strength, so it is designed to release propranolol over time rather than all at once.

How it works: Propranolol blocks beta receptors, which slows the heart rate and reduces how hard the heart has to work. In the tablet form of Mibeta SR 40 Tablet, the medicine is released gradually so its effect can last longer between doses.

Mibeta SR 40 Tablet is the 40 mg sustained-release tablet of propranolol, which is a higher-strength, longer-acting option compared with immediate-release tablets that may be used more often in smaller doses. Because it is an SR tablet, a doctor may choose Mibeta SR 40 Tablet when steadier control through the day is preferred and when a once-daily or less frequent schedule may fit the treatment plan better. It is suited only for people whose prescriber has already assessed that this strength and release pattern are appropriate.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Certain fast or irregular heart rhythms
• Migraine prevention
• Other doctor-directed beta-blocker uses

• Swallow Mibeta SR 40 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is safe for your specific product.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep a steady level of medicine in your body.
• You can take it with or without food, but taking it the same way each day may help consistency.
• Do not stop Mibeta SR 40 Tablet suddenly, because stopping beta-blockers abruptly can worsen chest pain or trigger heart problems.
• 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 prescriber gives you, since sustained-release propranolol doses are individualized.

Each Mibeta SR 40 Tablet provides propranolol 40 mg in a sustained-release tablet. The dosing frequency depends on the condition being treated and your response, but this strength is commonly used once daily or as directed by a doctor; some patients may need a different schedule. The maximum daily amount is not fixed for everyone and must be set by your prescriber based on blood pressure, heart rate, and tolerability.

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

Common side effects of Propranolol may include:

• Tiredness or low energy
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Slow heartbeat
• Nausea or stomach upset
• Cold hands or feet
• Sleep changes or vivid dreams
• More noticeable fatigue at higher beta-blocker doses

• Mibeta SR 40 Tablet is a higher-strength sustained-release beta-blocker and may cause more noticeable slowing of the pulse, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose.
• Use caution if you have asthma, COPD, diabetes, depression, or circulation problems, because propranolol can worsen these conditions or mask warning signs.
• Do not drink alcohol heavily, since it may increase dizziness and low blood pressure.
• Be careful driving or operating machinery until you know how Mibeta SR 40 Tablet affects you.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart block, very slow heartbeat, or heart failure.
• If you have diabetes, propranolol can hide symptoms of low blood sugar such as a fast heartbeat.
• Tell your prescriber about all blood pressure medicines, because combining them can lower heart rate or blood pressure too much.

• Other beta-blockers or heart-rate-lowering medicines such as verapamil or diltiazem
• Clonidine, especially if it is stopped suddenly
• Insulin or oral diabetes medicines
• Asthma medicines such as albuterol, which may work less well
• Some antidepressants and antiarrhythmics that can affect propranolol levels or heart rate
