What is Zebeta?

Zebeta is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).

Zebeta is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).

Zebeta may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Do not skip doses or stop taking Zebeta without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse or cause other serious heart problems.

If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using this medicine.

You should not use Zebeta if you have a serious heart condition such as "AV block," severe heart failure, or slow heartbeats that have caused you to faint.

Keep using Zebeta as directed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.

How should I take Zebeta

Take Zebeta exactly as it was prescribed for you. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
