Description

Propranolol 40 mg is a medication used to treat a variety of cardiovascular and neurological conditions. It works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels, helping to reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac workload.

Uses

How It Works

Propranolol blocks beta-adrenergic receptors, reducing the effects of stress hormones such as adrenaline. This slows the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and decreases oxygen demand by the heart.

• Avoid abrupt discontinuation, as it may worsen certain heart conditions.
