[brionon]

So how do I know if the pills my wife takes for High blood pressure are Beta Blockers ? Is it written on the packet ?
Please .

Caught something on the news this morning saying that most beta blockers names end in olol. Hope this helps.

this site lists some common beta blockers. All the advice I have heard is for people NOT to stop taking tablets, but to go see their GP.

what are your wife tabs called?

It should tell you somewhere on the leaflet that you get with your medication. As kags says, even if they are beta blockers your wife shouldn't stop taking them.

I have the latest book that lists tablets both over the counter ones & prescribed ones. It lists all the side effects & what category the come under. If you give the name, I`ll gladly check for you.

Kags ,they are AMLOR, ZESTRIL and BISOPROLOL.
And thanks for all the answers.
