Starcad-Beta 50 Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medicines called “Antihypertensive” used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart-related chest pain (angina), and heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia). Besides this, it also helps in relieving symptoms of migraine-related headaches. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a long-term force of the blood against the arteries that may lead to various types of heart diseases.

Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and heart-related chest pain (angina).

Hypertension: High blood pressure is a chronic condition when the blood pressure and the heart's workload are too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when the blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg, and diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm and 120/80 mm Hg.

Angina Pectoris: Discomfort in the chest or the heart is referred to as angina. It occurs when the workload on the heart increases and the heart does not get as much blood as it needs. Symptoms of angina include chest tightness, pressure and heaviness in the chest.

Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia is a condition with the rate at which the heart beats. In this condition, the heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or at an irregular rate. It can cause significant heart damage. A cardiac arrhythmia develops when there are irregular electrical signals in the heart. Tachycardia occurs when the heart beats too quickly, while bradycardia occurs when it beats too slowly. Arrhythmia treatment involves medicines, medical treatments, implanted devices, and, in certain cases, surgery.

Heart failure: Heart failure is a chronic disorder in which the heart's ability to pump blood is impaired. Heart failure can arise as a result of disorders such as excessive blood pressure, heart muscle enlargement or injury, defective heart valves, or restricted arteries in the heart. Shortness of breath, weariness, a rapid heartbeat, and swelling legs are all symptoms of heart failure.

Stroke: A stroke is a potentially fatal medical illness that occurs when the blood flow to a portion of the brain is cut off. Strokes are medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. The brain, like all organs, needs the oxygen and nutrients delivered by the blood to function correctly. Brain cells begin to die when the blood supply is reduced or terminated. This can result in brain injury, incapacity, and even death.

Migraine: A migraine headache is typically characterised by intense pain on one side of the brain. Many patients also have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and heightened sensitivity to light or sound. Some people suffer from migraines on a regular basis, up to several times per week. Others only get migraines on occasion. It is possible to go years without having a migraine attack. Migraines can have a negative impact on your quality of life and prevent you from carrying out your typical daily activities.
