Thank you so much for making this video. I was having a hard time understanding how beta blockers work. I’m glad I clicked on your video. Within 15 min I was able to understand how they work. Your video is straight to the point and so easy to understand 👩🏻⚕️🙌👍👍👍👍👍
That was Great video about beta - blockers. In UA-cam, i found only this video, which can be learned accurately and clearly . Thanks a lot for making this video.🥰🥰
Thank you for this video! I have Atrial Fibrillation and my electro cardiologist just put me on Metoprolol Succinate and Flecainide. The question I have is, do you have a video on Flecainide? I’m 58 years old and I haven’t had a need to take any medications until I developed A-fib recently. I’m just trying to educate myself about these drugs that I’m now having to take for the condition I’m experiencing. Thank you, and please keep the information coming on your channel.
Thank you for your video. Great help!! I am a student in Korea. I believe your lecture would be great help not only for me but also for students who live in korea. And I would like to translate in korean and share online. If it is OK, I would make sure to cite original source, your youtube channel. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!
Have been wondering forever why carvedilol causes a vasodilation. Nobody ever explained that sometimes BETAblockers can work on the alpha receptor as well. Thank you so much for this video!
Good presentation. Sir you have mentioned, in heart failure only 3 medicines ie, carvedilol bisoprolol metoprolol. So why nebivolol cannot be used bcz it could better replace carvedilol as the later even block beta2 receptor also. While the nebivolol do same as carvedilol without blocking b2 and since no lung issues
This video is the best video about the beta blockers I like this vedio Water solubility and lipid solubility about the beta blocker you missed it if you can apply it to this video
Can carvedilol 12.5mg give to elderly patients? Does carvedilol slow down the heart function n the dilation of blood vessel to cause lesser blood to kidney n causing trouble to the kidney as kidney receiving less oxygen? How long can this medicine given to elderly patient? As the lung receptors are blocked n causing less function to exchange oxygen, could this result the blood cell in the body and organ deteriorate because of less oxygen and nutrients reqiired? Also, since carvedilol put a brake on the heart function, could this eventually worsening the heart n causimg death to elderly? This video is great, excellent explanation. One more question, since carvedilol is an old medicine, does it still widely used?
Hi hello sir I have headache doctor refer to betacap 10mg I use this tablet but l have wezzing problem last 14 year so continue this tablet please reply
Tell your doctor to change the Betcap to a SELECTIVE Betablockers. The medication you are taking is NON Selective, so it is effecting your lungs. Tell him to give you a SELECTIVE Beta blocker like Metoprolol. Your wheezing should go away, Hope this helps! Always refer to your physician first
Hi!😁 The risk will always be there when abruptly stopping any beta blocker. The risk is decreased if it's a lower dose, and a less duration of use (using it for 1 week versus 3 months). It never hurts to slowly taper beta blockers off!
Great Question! @Calum For a general answer: These 3 beta blockers proved to be superior in clinical trials for heart failure, and because of these trials, they are recommended. The only other thing is that Carvedilol has antioxidant effects, which help reverse structural damage to the heart, which would surely help our heart failure patients! Hope this helps!
@@Kindpersonbehappy Still alive, recently I also got prescribed Forxiga - Forxiga seems to help my shortness of breath , but its still early days. (5 days)
I have a question, In what cases would non-selective beta-blockers be prescribed vs selective beta-blockers, given that many of the cases are heart-related issues? Thank you for your videos btw, super helpful and to the point, keep up the great work!! :)
Great question! You have to understand that the non-selective are older drugs. This means some insurance companies want to pay for them first, because they are cheaper. So unfortunately money is a big factor in therapy. Also, some of the nonselective have benefits, for example: propranolol can be used for hyperthyroidism and social anxiety. Hope that clears some things up!
OMG i was given propranolol just for my anxiety and it helps. Why anxiety part is not covered in this video? Should i continue or switch to benzos? Which one is safe for anxiety?
Sir I take Inderal for anxiety disorder, my doctor has advised me to stop this medicine gradually like 10mg twice a day for a week and then 10mg once a day for a week before stopping it. My question is that if I only take 10mg Inderal once a day whenever I needed can I stop it suddenly, and pls suggest which beta blocker will be suitable for my anxiety?
Hey Ashu, yes you should slow down taking the inderal just like you said. If you decide to take it at times of need, it would be okay to take it once in a while without needing to lower the dose. However, if you are using it only for anxiety, you must take it 1 hour before an event where you may get anxiety. If you need a medication for anxiety, maybe talk to your doctor for an anxiety medicine. Because Inderal is usually only for blood pressure. Hope this helps!
@@DrugChug Sir, I'm grateful to you for your above advice and correct information. I understand that propranolol is basically used to lower the Blood pressure but its action of blocking beta receptors in the heart reduces the symptoms of anxiety. Which is great in dealing some social phobias like public speaking or an interview. I visited a psychiatrist (DM) and he suggested me to take SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) this helps in maintaining the proper level of serotonin in the brain and it cures my anxiety in the correct way.
hello. im 31 years old and because of palpitations and high heart beat rate ( usually between 95 to 110 while resting ) im using metoprolol 100 mg after im using this medicine the heart beat rate lowing down to 70 to 85 while resting. so how can i stop using this med ? like lower the dose to use 50 mg a week and then stop ?
Blimey Eating healthy and keeping fit seems to be the priority here. I'm 60 and I think twice about even taking paracetamol. I don't even know what my doctor looks like ❤
Your blood pressure is considered Stage 2 ( > 140 ) which typically means patients are on 2 medications. A beta blocker like metoprolol would decrease the blood pressure, but making sure you have a healthy diet is also part of the fix. Less sodium in your daily diet and healthier foods will bring it down. Contact your primary doctor and have this discussion with them, hope this clears some things up!
That would depends on your age and the reason your blood pressure is high. Do you have any chest pain or difficult breathing? Is your heart rate way over 100? If yes, then you do need to talk with your doctor to find the right medication to reduce that. Metoprolol works best for that. However, if you don't have any chest pain or any symptoms at all, then you probably don't need medications. Sometimes there's a good reason for blood pressure to go up when we are physically active or running alot or working hard, so you don't want to lower that because if you do and your blood pressure not high enough, you can get dizzy or fall and that's the side effect of blood pressure medications.
Don't mean to preach because I have high blood pressure. I have typical systolic high blood pressure that happens after age 65. Sometimes jumps up to 145 even 155. This only happens when I eat a bit too much or a bit too much salt. The preachy part is that if you consistently have 150/100 you are eating too much and probably eating too much salt with minimal exercise. Sorry if that offends.
Hi Zain! there are many beta blockers that can be used for A Fib such as metoprolol, atenolol, nadolol, carvedilol, propranolol, bisoprolol. The best thing is to see which one your patient tolerates best

Hi, is it true that discontinuing Propranolol can result in abrupt heart attacks even at low doses like 40 mg ?
Hi!😁
The risk will always be there when abruptly stopping any beta blocker. The risk is decreased if it's a lower dose, and a less duration of use (using it for 1 week versus 3 months). It never hurts to slowly taper beta blockers off!
Best combination for 5mg amplodipine+ 40 mg proponol? please tellme sir.
Why are those three beta-blockers used in treating heart failure rather than different beta-blockers? Also great video, very informative and simple.
