High blood pressures, migraine headaches, chest pain and glaucoma are some of the illnesses that are really painful for the sufferers. But these can be treated, if the heart is made to pump blood at a slower rate, which is important when considering the fact that it understandably reduces the blood pressure in the arteries and hence helps to come over many disturbances. But how can the heart be made to pump slowly. The agents used for this purpose are beta-adrenergic blocking agents or simply the beta blockers. Despite these pleasant effects on the body, their use has some adverse effects as well. So, the doctor may prescribe this medication but at the same time when he/she feels the danger of beta blockers rather than benefit, they strictly advice their patients to discourage from it. But it must be in the minds of the patients to ward off this medication in a safe way by slowly reducing its dosage, because it is deadly dangerous to stop their use abruptly. So a way must be known to patients to reduce dosage safely.

One may think about the taper off method to be, as taking medicine after a gap of a day, but this isn’t an efficient method and method of planned withdrawal schedule is most desirable by the doctors. The doctors may adjust the dose as to taper off the effect of slow-release beta blockers because these beta blockers are coated in some special substance and cannot be split.

It is must be cautioned that tapering off the beta blockers may cause changes in the body that may be the source of concern. This is because many parts of the body are influenced by the beta blockers as well as heart functions. Spikes in the blood pressure may also be experienced. So, you must keep a check on your blood pressure and heart rate at different times throughout the day, while you are in the weaning period.

During the weaning period a person may feel anxiety, rapidity in heart rate, confusion, dizziness and chest pain caused by reduction of the respective drug concentration in the blood. So, you must remain in contact with your physician, who may adjust the schedule of withdrawing the medicine and may reduce or increase the rate of withdrawal of beta blockers.
