Further information What Betaloc IV Injection is and what it is used for

Betaloc IV Injection contains a medicine called metoprolol tartrate. This belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. Betaloc IV Injection is used:

To treat uneven heart beat (arrhythmia). After a heart attack.

It works by making your heart beat more slowly and with less force.

Before you have Betaloc IV Injection Do not have Betaloc IV Injection if: You are allergic (hypersensitive) to metoprolol tartrate or any of the other ingredients in Betaloc IV Injection (see Section 6: Further information). You are allergic to any other beta-blocker medicines (such as atenolol or propanolol). You have ever had any of the following heart problems: heart attack with shock heart failure which is not under control (this usually makes you breathless and causes your ankles to swell) second- or third-degree heart block (a condition which may be treated by a pacemaker) very slow or very uneven heart beats. You have low blood pressure which may make you feel faint. You have very poor circulation. You have a tumour called phaeochromocytoma that is not being treated. This is usually near your kidney and can cause high blood pressure. If you are being treated for phaeochromocytoma your doctor will give you another medicine called an alpha-blocker, to take as well as your Betaloc IV Injection. You have been told that you have higher than normal levels of acid in your blood (metabolic acidosis).

If any of the above apply to you, do not have Betaloc IV Injection. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or nurse before having Betaloc IV Injection.

Take special care with Betaloc IV Injection

Check with your doctor or nurse before having Betaloc IV Injection if:

You have asthma, wheezing or any other similar breathing problems, or you get allergic reactions, for example to insect stings, foods or other substances. If you have ever had asthma or wheezing, do not have this medicine without first checking with your doctor. You have a type of chest pain (angina) called Prinzmetal's angina. You have poor blood circulation or controlled heart failure. You have first-degree heart block. You have problems with your liver. You have diabetes. Your treatment for diabetes may need to be adjusted. You have thyrotoxicosis (a condition caused by an overactive thyroid gland). Your medicine may hide the symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. You have or have ever had psoriasis (a skin condition).

If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor before having Betaloc IV Injection.

Taking other medicines

Please tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking, or have recently taken, any other medicines.

This includes medicines that you buy without a prescription and herbal medicines. This is because Betaloc IV Injection can affect the way some other medicines work and some medicines can have an effect on Betaloc IV Injection.

In particular, tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking any of the following medicines:

Clonidine (for high blood pressure or migraine). If you are taking clonidine and Betaloc IV Injection together, do not stop taking clonidine unless your doctor tells you to do so. If you have to stop taking clonidine or Betaloc IV Injection, your doctor will give you careful instructions about how to do it. Medicines called Mono-Amine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs). Verapamil, diltiazem or nifedipine (for high blood pressure or chest pain). Quinidine, amiodarone or digoxin (for heart problems). Hydralazine (for high blood pressure). Medicines for stomach ulcers (such as cimetidine). Medicines for infections caused by bacteria (such as rifampicin). Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine (a medicine that stimulates the heart). Medicines for pain, inflammation and arthritis (such as indometacin and celecoxib). Medicines for depression. Medicines for mental illness (such as phenothiazine). Barbiturates (a type of sedative). Anti-histamines (medicines for hay fever and allergies). Other beta-blocker medicines used as eye drops (such as timolol). Insulin or medicines that you take by mouth for diabetes. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose of these medicines. Lidocaine (a local anaesthetic). Ergotamine medicines (for migraines). Operations

If you go into hospital or to the dentist to have an operation, tell the anaesthetist, medical staff or dentist that you are having Betaloc IV Injection.

This is because you can get low blood pressure (hypotension) if you are given certain anaesthetics while you are taking Betaloc IV Injection.

Adrenal Insufficiency Medications

Definition of Adrenal Insufficiency: Adrenal insufficiency is a disorder characterized by underactive adrenal glands and an insufficient production of the hormones cortisol and, sometimes, aldosterone. The adrenal glands are small organs located on top of each kidney. They consist of an inner layer called the medulla and an outer layer called the adrenal cortex. In the body, the hypothalamus, the pituitary glands, and the adrenal glands work together to produce hormones that control many body systems. If any part of their signaling and feedback system is not working it can cause major disruptions and illness within the body.
