Antihypertensive effects: Inderal helps to lower blood pressure, making it effective in the management of hypertension and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.

Description

Propranolol, commonly marketed under the brand name Inderal, is a beta-blocker medication used to treat various conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (chest pain), tremors, and certain cardiovascular conditions. Each package contains 30 tablets of propranolol.

Key Features:

Beta-blocker action: Propranolol works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on beta-adrenergic receptors in the body, thereby reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and the workload on the heart.
Antihypertensive effects: Inderal helps to lower blood pressure, making it effective in the management of hypertension and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
Treatment for other conditions: In addition to its cardiovascular effects, Propranolol is also used to manage symptoms of anxiety, migraine headaches, and essential tremors.

Usage Instructions:

The dosage of Inderal varies depending on the condition being treated, its severity, and individual patient response. It is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
For hypertension, the typical starting dose for adults is 40mg to 80mg orally twice daily, with adjustments made based on blood pressure response.
For angina or tremors, the dosage may be higher, up to 120mg to 240mg orally per day, divided into multiple doses.
Propranolol tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, with or without food.

Precautions:

Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions or ongoing medications before starting Propranolol.
Use caution if you have a history of certain heart conditions such as heart block, bradycardia (slow heart rate), or heart failure, as Propranolol may exacerbate these conditions.
Do not stop taking Propranolol abruptly without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation may lead to rebound hypertension or other adverse effects.

Side Effects: While Propranolol is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience the following side effects:

Fatigue
Dizziness
Nausea
Diarrhea
Cold extremities (hands and feet)
Insomnia
Depression

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your healthcare provider promptly. Additionally, seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction such as rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
