Hi,

Betacap TR 40 (propranolol) is a non-selective beta-blocker commonly used to treat high blood pressure, anxiety, tremors, migraine, and other conditions.

Its most common side effect include fatigue, weakness, cold and clammy skin, impotency and difficulty in breathing in patients suffering from asthma or chronic lung disease.

You should consult your doctor if the side effects bother you or will not go away. Most of the side effects are short-lived and improve as your body gets used to the medicine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
