betablocker
Heart rate reducer
A betablocker is a medication that slows the heart rate and reduces blood pressure by blocking the effects of adrenaline on beta receptors.
Doctors prescribe betablockers for high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, anxiety, and to prevent migraines.
Also spelled beta-blocker or beta blocker: My doctor put me on a betablocker after the heart attack.
