Question: HI I AM XXXXXXX 40 YEARS OLD . I AM ON MEDICATION FOR BP FOR LAST 3 YEARS .FOR LAST 6 MONTS I WAS ON TAZLOC BETA 25 .BUT DUE TO DRY COUGH MY DOCTOR CHANGED IT TO TAZLOC 40.

Brief Answer:
Tazoloc Beta would be a better option in your case

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the details. I think that taking Tazoloc Beta in the morning would be a better idea. It contains a beta blocker which can effectively keep your heart rate in control. Moreover it has cardioprotective action and can have positive effect on your lifespan. I would suggest that you take steam inhalation on regular basis. It will enable you to deal better with your dry cough. The other thing that you keep in mind is avoidance of smoking.

Hope that helps.

THANX FOR VALUABLE REPLY SIR , SIR MAY I KNOW THAT BRONCHIAL SPASM WHICH OCCURRED TO ME WAS MAY BE A SIDE EFFECT OF TAZLOC BETA 50 WHICH I TOOK FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE THE INCIDENCE OCCURED.

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
It is unlikely to be in the blood to cause the side effect

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

Since, bronchospasm is a known side effect of beta blockers like Tazoloc beta, the suspicion has arisen. But, it is very unlikely that the medicine that you took 3 days prior to the event, has been still in the blood to cause the side effect of bronchial spasm. Let me remark that bronchial spasm can also occur due to certain viral respiratory tract infections and there is no way to point at the exact cause. However, Nebicard H is a better drug and I think that taking it would be a better idea.
