About Galtrip Beta Tablet

Galtrip Beta Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called tricyclic anti-depressants used to prevent migraine attacks with co-morbid conditions like insomnia, neuralgia pain, hypertension, and anxiety. A migraine is usually a moderate or severe headache felt as a throbbing pain on one side of the head.

Galtrip Beta Tablet is a combination of two medicines, namely, amitriptyline and propranolol. Amitriptyline inhibits the membrane pump mechanism responsible for the serotonin uptake in serotonergic neurons, increasing serotonin levels and decreasing electrical activity in the brain. Amitriptyline can also change how your nerves receive pain signals so the pain goes away. Propranolol is a beta-blocker. It also widens the blood vessels in the body for better blood flow. Thereby, it helps to relieve your symptoms of pain or migraine.

You are advised to take Galtrip Beta Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition and response to the treatment. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as weight gain, dry mouth, blurred vision, increased intraocular pressure, constipation, sedation and drowsiness, hypotension, syncope, tachycardia, palpitations, myocardial infarction, and arrhythmias. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue using Galtrip Beta Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not use Galtrip Beta Tablet without a doctor's advice if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any medicine. Consult your doctor before using Galtrip Beta Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use Galtrip Beta Tablet in more than prescribed doses or longer duration as it may cause adverse effects. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you take before taking Galtrip Beta Tablet to rule out any side effects.
