Celiprolol
Q. When can I expect a relief in my symptoms after starting Celiprolol for high blood pressure?
Celiprolol usually starts working within a few hours of taking it. However, it may take up to a week to see the full benefits of the symptoms of high blood pressure or heart conditions. You may not notice any difference, but that does not mean it is not working. For migraine, it may take a few weeks before you notice any difference, so keep taking the medicine.Q. Is Celiprolol effective?
Celiprolol is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Celiprolol too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.Q. Can Celiprolol be used in asthmatics?
No, Celiprolol cannot be used in asthmatics. Celiprolol is a non-specific beta receptor blocker. Using Celiprolol in asthma patients can cause breathing problems, which may trigger an asthma attack.Q. My doctor has prescribed Celiprolol even though my blood pressure is within normal limits. Is it because of the chest pain that I complained of?
Yes, it is possible that your doctor prescribed Celiprolol for chest pain (angina). Celiprolol is a beta-blocker which is used to lower high blood pressure, prevent angina, treat or prevent heart attacks or reduce your risk of heart problems following a heart attack. Celiprolol is also used to treat irregularities in heartbeat, including those caused by anxiety, essential tremor (shaking of head, chin and hands). It also prevents migraine headaches, overactive thyroid (thyrotoxicosis and hyperthyroidism) and bleeding in the food pipe caused by high blood pressure.Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Celiprolol?
If you have missed a dose of Celiprolol, take it as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.Q. Can I take fluoxetine with Celiprolol?
No, you should avoid taking fluoxetine with Celiprolol. This is because fluoxetine may cause an increase in levels of Celiprolol in the body which may increase its toxicity.Q. Can I stop taking Celiprolol as my chest pain is under control?
No, you should not stop taking Celiprolol suddenly because that may worsen your angina or may cause a heart attack. Tell your doctor and if there is a need to stop Celiprolol, your doctor will reduce your dose gradually over a period of a few weeks.Q. Is Celiprolol good for anxiety?
Yes, Celiprolol helps relieve your physical symptoms of anxiety. The dose and duration of taking Celiprolol will be suggested by your doctor, depending on whether your symptoms are a recurring problem or occur only in stressful conditions. However, Celiprolol is usually given for a short time for anxiety.Q. I have been on indomethacin for several months. Will it be a problem if I start taking Celiprolol along with it?
Yes, indomethacin may interfere with the working of Celiprolol and make it less effective. As a result, your blood pressure may increase. Speak to your doctor who will prescribe you a different medicine to control blood pressure.
