How Betacap TR 20 Capsule Works

Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that blocks beta-1 and beta-2 receptors. It reduces heart rate and force of contraction and lowers blood pressure by decreasing cardiac output and suppressing renin release, thereby reducing workload on the heart.

Take as prescribed. Swallow the capsule whole; do not crush or chew (TR/extended release). Usually taken once daily at the same time each day, with or without food; take consistently with respect to meals.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
