Instructions for use of Betalac

Betaxolol, also known as metoprolol tartrate, is used for the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic coarctation, arrhythmias, hyperthyroidism, cardiac neurosis and, in recent years, for the treatment of heart failure. Specific dosage: Oral, the dose should be individualized to avoid the occurrence of bradycardia. It should be taken orally on an empty stomach. If taken after a meal, the bioavailability of metoprolol can be increased by 40%. In the treatment of hypertension, 100-200 mg daily in 1-2 oral doses. In the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, early administration, i.e. within the first few hours, is advocated to reduce short-term mortality. In the treatment of hyperthyroidism, generally 25-50mg once, 2-3 times a day. In the treatment of heart failure, based on the application of anti-heart failure and other drugs such as digitalis and diuretics, initially 6.25mg once, 2-3 times a day, and later, depending on the clinical situation, increase 6.25-12.5mg once every few days to a week, 2-3 times a day, and the maximum dose can be up to 50-100mg once, twice a day.
