About Betacap 20 MG Tablet

This medication is used as a beta-blocker. It is used to treat various conditions like irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, migraine, chest pain from angina, anxiety and heart attacks. The drug gets attached to the heart, and inhibits the regular molecules from triggering the receptors.

It blocks the beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, thus slowing your heartbeat down and lowering the blood pressure. This lowers the stress placed on your heart, arteries, veins and blood vessels, decreasing the workload of the heart.
