How Taken
The usual dose of zebeta is 5 mg or 10 mg once daily although doses up to 20 mg daily have been prescribed. Some patients, for example, those with marked kidney, liver or lung diseases, may be given 2.5 mg daily. Zebeta can be taken with or without food.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Zebeta blocks the action of the sympathetic nervous system on the heart by blocking the heart 's beta-adrenergic receptors. Beta-adrenergic blocking agents such as zebeta reduce the heart rate and are useful in treating abnormally rapid heart rhythms. Zebeta also reduces the force of contraction of the heart and lowers blood pressure. By reducing the heart rate and the force of muscle contraction, beta-adrenergic blocking agents reduce the heart's need for oxygen. Since angina (heart pain) occurs when oxygen need exceeds supply, beta-adrenergic blocking agents are useful in treating angina.
