PROPENOL 20 

Propranolol (20mg)

PROPENOL 20, containing Propranolol (20mg), is a medication belonging to the class of beta-blockers. Beta-blockers are commonly prescribed to manage various cardiovascular conditions, as well as certain other health issues. Propranolol works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. 

How Does It Work?

 These receptors are normally activated by adrenaline and other stress-related hormones, leading to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. By blocking these receptors, Propranolol helps to slow down the heart rate and reduce blood pressure. This mechanism makes it an effective treatment for various cardiovascular conditions.

Uses

Hypertension

One of the primary uses of PROPENOL 20 is in the management of high blood pressure (hypertension). By reducing the workload on the heart and dilating blood vessels, it helps to lower blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

Angina

 It helps by decreasing the oxygen demand of the heart, thus preventing angina attacks that occur due to insufficient oxygen supply to the heart muscles.

Arrhythmias

Propranolol is effective in treating certain types of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). It stabilizes the heart’s rhythm by slowing down the electrical impulses in the heart, which helps to maintain a regular heartbeat.

Anxiety

PROPENOL 20 can be prescribed for managing physical symptoms of anxiety, such as tremors and rapid heartbeat. By calming the physiological responses associated with anxiety, it helps individuals manage their symptoms more effectively.

Migraine Prophylaxis

Propranolol is also used as a preventive treatment for migraines. It reduces the frequency and severity of migraine attacks, though the exact mechanism for this is not fully understood.

Thyroid Storm

In cases of thyroid storm, a life-threatening condition due to excessive thyroid hormone, PROPENOL 20 can help control symptoms by mitigating the effects of excessive thyroid hormones on the heart and other organs.

Essential Tremor

Propranolol is effective in reducing the severity of tremors in individuals with essential tremor, a neurological condition characterized by uncontrollable shaking.

Dosage

The dosage of PROPENOL 20 depends on the condition being treated and the patient's response to the medication.

 PROPENOL 20 may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

The usual dosage for angina is 80mg to 320mg per day, divided into two to four doses.

For the prevention of migraines, the typical starting dose is 80mg per day, which may be increased to 160mg per day, divided into multiple doses.

For Anxiety

For anxiety management, the dose can range from 40mg to 120mg per day, divided into several doses. The exact dosage depends on the severity of symptoms and the individual's response.
