What is Bedranol 10mg?
Bedranol 10mg is used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.
Bedranol 10mg is also used to treat severe chest pain (angina), migraine headaches, or hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (thickened heart muscle).
Bedranol 10mg may also be used to treat irregular heartbeats, tremors, or pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumor). It may also be used to reduce the risk of death in patients who have heart attacks.
Bedranol 10mg oral solution is used to treat proliferating infantile hemangioma.
Bedranol 10mg is a beta-blocker. It works by affecting the response to nerve impulses in certain parts of the body, like the heart. As a result, the heart beats slower and decreases the blood pressure. When the blood pressure is lowered, the amount of blood and oxygen is increased to the heart.
Bedranol 10mg is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Bedranol 10mg indications
Hypertension
Bedranol 10mg is indicated in the management of hypertension. It may be used alone or used in combination with other antihypertensive agents, particularly a thiazide diuretic. Bedranol 10mg is not indicated in the management of hypertensive emergencies.
Angina Pectoris Due to Coronary Atherosclerosis
Bedranol 10mg is indicated to decrease angina frequency and increase exercise tolerance in patients with angina pectoris.
Atrial Fibrillation
Bedranol 10mg is indicated to control ventricular rate in patients with atrial fibrillation and a rapid ventricular response.
Myocardial Infarction
Bedranol 10mg is indicated to reduce cardiovascular mortality in patients who have survived the acute phase of myocardial infarction and are clinically stable.
Migraine
Bedranol 10mg is indicated for the prophylaxis of common migraine headache. The efficacy of Bedranol 10mg in the treatment of a migraine attack that has started has not been established, and Bedranol 10mg is not indicated for such use.
Essential Tremor
Bedranol 10mg is indicated in the management of familial or hereditary essential tremor. Familial or essential tremor consists of involuntary, rhythmic, oscillatory movements, usually limited to the upper limbs. It is absent at rest, but occurs when the limb is held in a fixed posture or position against gravity and during active movement. Bedranol 10mg causes a reduction in the tremor amplitude, but not in the tremor frequency. Bedranol 10mg is not indicated for the treatment of tremor associated with Parkinsonism.
Hypertrophic Subaortic Stenosis
Bedranol 10mg improves NYHA functional class in symptomatic patients with hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.
Pheochromocytoma
Bedranol 10mg is indicated as an adjunct to alpha-adrenergic blockade to control blood pressure and reduce symptoms of catecholamine-secreting tumors.

What other drugs will affect Bedranol 10mg?
Patients receiving catecholamine-depleting drugs such as reserpine should be closely observed if Beta-Bedranol 10mg HCl is administered. The added catecholamine-blocking action may produce an excessive reduction of resting sympathetic nervous activity, which may result in hypotension, marked bradycardia, vertigo, syncopal attacks, or orthostatic hypotension.
Caution should be exercised when patients receiving a beta blocker are administered a calcium-channel blocking drug, especially intravenous verapamil, for both agents may depress myocardial contractility or atrioventricular conduction. On rare occasions, the concomitant intravenous use of a beta blocker and verapamil has resulted in serious adverse reactions, especially in patients with severe cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, or recent myocardial infarction.
Blunting of the antihypertensive effect of beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been reported.
Hypotension and cardiac arrest have been reported with the concomitant use of Bedranol 10mg and haloperidol.
Aluminum hydroxide gel: Greatly reduces intestinal absorption of Bedranol 10mg.
Ethanol: Slows the rate of absorption of Bedranol 10mg.
Phenytoin, phenobarbitone: and rifampin accelerate Bedranol 10mg clearance.
Chlorpromazine: When used concomitantly with Bedranol 10mg, results in increased plasma levels of both drugs.
Antipyrine: and lidocaine have reduced clearance when used concomitantly with Bedranol 10mg.
Thyroxine: May result in a lower than expected T3 concentration when used concomitantly with Bedranol 10mg.

Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Clinical Trials Experience with Bedranol 10mg in Infants with proliferating infantile hemangioma
In clinical trials for proliferating infantile hemangioma, the most frequently reported adverse reactions ( > 10%) in infants treated with Bedranol 10mg were sleep disorders, aggravated respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and bronchiolitis associated with cough and fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. Adverse reactions led to treatment discontinuation in fewer than 2% of treated patients.
Overall, 479 patients in the pooled safety population were exposed to study drug in the clinical study program (456 in placebo-controlled trials). A total of 424 patients were treated with Bedranol 10mg at doses 1.2 mg/kg/day or 3.4 mg/kg/day for 3 or 6 months. Of these, 63% of patients were aged 91-150 days and 37% were aged 35-90 days at randomization.
The following table lists according to the dosage the most common adverse reactions (treatment-emergent adverse events with an incidence at least 3% greater on one of the two doses than on placebo).
Table 2: Treatment-emergent adverse events occurring at least 3% more often on Bedranol 10mg than on placebo.

The following adverse events have been observed during clinical studies, with an incidence of less than 1%:
Cardiac disorders: Second degree atrioventricular heart block, in a patient with underlying conduction disorder, required definitive treatment discontinuation.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Urticaria, alopecia
Investigations: Decreased blood glucose, decreased heart rate
Compassionate Use Program
More than 600 infants received Bedranol 10mg in a compassionate use program (CUP). Mean age at treatment initiation was 3.6 months. Mean dose of Bedranol 10mg was 2.2 mg/kg/day and mean treatment duration was 7.1 months.
The adverse reactions reported in the CUP were similar to the ADRs observed during clinical trials but some were more severe.
Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Bedranol 10mg. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
These adverse reactions are as follows:
