Hi,
Betablockin-1 belongs to the drugs known as beta-blockers which is used to treat angina, HTN, arrhythmias, anxiety, migraine, hyperactive thyroid etc and help to improve heart failure and to protect against heart attacks. Side effects of betablockin-1 are cold feet and hands, dizziness, fatigue, tingling sensation in hands and feet, depression, nervousness, insomnia, nightmares etc.
Starting at a low dose and increasing slowly may help to avoid unpleasant side effects. In case of experiencing side effects, prescribing doctor should be informed about the side effects for reducing the current dose or chosing other type of beta-blockers. Again, some side effects may subside with passing of time when body are used to this medication.
Take care. Hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if I can assist you further.
