Butalamine
Butalamine is a pharmacological agent that belongs to the class of drugs known as beta blockers. It is primarily used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and angina pectoris.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Butalamine works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
Medical Uses[edit | edit source]
Butalamine is used to treat a variety of conditions related to the cardiovascular system. These include:
- Hypertension: Butalamine is often used in the management of high blood pressure. It helps to reduce the workload of the heart and opens the blood vessels, allowing the heart to beat more regularly and with less force.
- Angina Pectoris: This medication is also used to prevent chest pain caused by angina. It is not used to treat an active angina attack.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all medications, Butalamine can cause side effects. Common side effects include fatigue, cold hands and feet, weight gain, and shortness of breath. If any of these effects persist or worsen, patients are advised to tell their doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Precautions[edit | edit source]
Before taking Butalamine, patients should inform their doctor or pharmacist if they are allergic to it; or if they have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
Butalamine can interact with a number of other medications, which can affect how it works or increase the risk of serious side effects. It is important to keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist.
