Propranolol Tablets

What is Propranolol?

Propranolol is a beta-blocker used to manage a variety of cardiovascular and anxiety-related conditions. It works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels, helping to reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. It is commonly prescribed to manage high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), and to prevent migraines. It is also used off-label to manage anxiety symptoms, particularly physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and tremors.

How Does Propranolol Work?

High blood pressure is a serious disease that, if not treated, can wreak havoc on the brain, heart, vessels, kidneys, and other organs in the body. Damage to these organs can lead to heart disease, a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other disorders. As a beta-blocker, Propranolol works by altering how the heart responds to certain nerve messages that interfere with the heart and blood vessels. This change lowers blood pressure, slows down the heart rate and strain on the heart, thus promoting effective circulation of blood to all organs.
