It depends on what were you taking the medicine for. You should discuss it with your prescribing doctor

Sorry, but I thought the subject BP Medication was a giveaway. It is to treat hypertension in conjunction with Karvea 150mg day. Betaloc was added after about 12 months on Karvea because it wasn't lowering the BP sufficiently. Adding the Betaloc also didn't make much if any difference. I've already reduced Betaloc to one half of 50mg tab a day. Frankly, I'm having greater success with slow breathing exercises 15min daily that I started recently and I'm on a weight loss & exercise program.
