Beloc ZOK, a beta blocker medication, is prescribed for treating high blood pressure, angina pectoris (chest pain typically resulting from reduced oxygen to the heart due to obstructed arteries), and heart attacks. When used for high blood pressure, it can be effective alone or alongside other antihypertensive drugs. Beta blockers work by lowering the strength and frequency of heart contractions, which diminishes oxygen demand and lowers blood pressure.
Use Beloc ZOK exactly as directed by your physician. Do not take more or less than instructed or for a longer duration than recommended. Adhere to the instructions on your prescription label. Take Beloc ZOK at the same time each day.
Beloc ZOK should be taken with food or shortly after eating. If your doctor has advised it, you may split a Beloc ZOK tablet in half. The half tablet should be swallowed whole—do not chew or crush it. Chewing or crushing the tablet could result in an excessive release of the medication at once.
Do not skip doses or discontinue using Beloc ZOK without first consulting your doctor. Suddenly stopping the medication may worsen your condition.
Your blood pressure will require frequent monitoring. Schedule regular visits with your physician. If you are going to have surgery, inform the surgeon in advance that you are taking Beloc ZOK.
Beloc ZOK is only one component of a comprehensive hypertension treatment plan that may involve dietary changes, physical activity, and weight management. It’s essential to strictly follow your diet, medication, and exercise regimens when managing hypertension.
If you are receiving treatment for high blood pressure, continue using this medication even if you feel fine. High blood pressure is often asymptomatic. Long-term usage of blood pressure medications may be necessary. Take a missed dose as soon as you remember, but skip it if it’s nearly time for your next dose. Do not double your dose to compensate for a missed one.
Feel free to ask your healthcare provider any questions about the proper use of Beloc ZOK.
Store Beloc ZOK at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Keep it away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store it in the bathroom. Ensure Beloc ZOK is out of reach of children and pets.
