Topme primarily functions by blocking beta-adrenoreceptors in the heart, making it useful for treating hypertension, chest pain (angina), irregular heart rhythms, and for both treating and preventing myocardial infarctions. It affects the autonomic nervous system, which can lead to an increased heart rate by inhibiting its receptors, thereby helping to reduce unusually fast heart rhythms. Additionally, it lowers myocardial irritability, cardiac output, and produces other effects.
Topme should be taken with food or right after a meal. Do not chew, crush, or break a tablet; instead, swallow it with a glass of water. The dosage varies based on the condition being treated and can range from 100 to 450 mg per day. Your specific dosage should be determined by your doctor. Elderly patients are advised to start with a daily dose of 50 mg. In cases of kidney failure, dosage adjustments are not necessary, whereas liver failure requires the use of different beta-adrenoblockers that are not metabolized in the liver. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if your next scheduled dose is less than 4 hours away, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not attempt to make up for a missed dose by taking an additional one.
In the context of developing tolerance to Topme, some side effects may include abdominal cramps, fatigue, insomnia, nausea, depression, memory loss, fever, impotence, lightheadedness, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, cold extremities, sore throat, diarrhea, constipation, and shortness of breath or wheezing.
If you experience symptoms such as irregular heartbeats, shortness of breath, dizziness, weakness or fainting, or bluish-colored fingernails, seek medical assistance immediately.
