WHAT IS BELOC-ZOK?
Beloc Zok contains active substance called metoprolol, which belongs to a group of medicines known as beta-blockers. Metoprolol reduces the effect of stress hormones on the heart during physical exercise or mental
strain. This slows down the heart rate (reduces pulse).
USES
Beloc-Zok is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. A lower blood pressure can reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
Beloc-Zok is also used to treat severe chest pain (angina) and lowers the risk of repeated heart attacks. It is given to people who have already had a heart attack. In addition, Beloc-Zok is used to treat patients with heart failure.
HYPERTENSION
Beloc-Zok is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure lowers the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. These benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes including Beloc-Zok.
Control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake.
ANGINA PECTORIS
Beloc-Zok is indicated in the long-term treatment of angina pectoris, to reduce angina attacks and to improve exercise tolerance.
HEART FAILURE
Beloc-Zok is indicated for the treatment of stable, symptomatic (NYHA Class II or III) heart failure of ischemic, hypertensive, or cardiomyopathic origin. It was studied in patients already receiving ACE inhibitors, diuretics, and, in the majority of cases, digitalis. In this population, Beloc-Zok decreased the rate of mortality plus hospitalization, largely through a reduction in cardiovascular mortality and hospitalizations for heart failure.
SIDE EFFECTS
- Headache, dizziness, decrease in heartbeat,coldness in hands andfeet,palpitations,abdominal pain,nausea(Vomiting),diarrhea, constipation and fatigue.
