Product Description
Starpress XL 50 Tablet is a beta-blocker medication used to treat various heart-related conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia). It is also effective in preventing migraines, future heart attacks, and strokes.
This medication can be prescribed alone or alongside other treatments.
The dosage and frequency depend on the condition being treated and its severity. It can be taken either on an empty stomach or with a meal, but it is important to take it at the same time every day to achieve the best results. It may take several weeks to feel the full effects, and long-term use is often required, sometimes for the rest of your life. Even if you feel well, it is essential to continue taking the medication as stopping it may worsen your condition, particularly since high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
Common side effects of Starpress XL 50 Tablet include tiredness, headache, depression, diarrhea, rash, slow heart rate, dizziness, and nausea. These side effects are typically mild and short-lived. In some cases, it may also cause shortness of breath or low blood pressure. To minimize side effects, your doctor may start you on a low dose and gradually increase it. If the side effects become bothersome or persist, consult your doctor.
Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have liver problems. It may not be suitable for people with a slow heart rate, severe circulation issues, severe heart failure, or low blood pressure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek advice from their doctor before using this medicine. Regular blood pressure monitoring is essential to ensure that the medication is working effectively. It is also advisable to avoid alcohol while taking this medication, as it can increase the risk of certain side effects.
