PROPRANOLOL CAPSULES

Prolar SR is a high-quality sustained-release formulation of Propranolol 40 mg, engineered for consistent therapeutic effects over 24 hours. As a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker, Prolar SR effectively controls hypertension, angina, and arrhythmias by reducing heart rate, myocardial contractility, and blood pressure. Its advanced sustained-release technology ensures steady drug release, promoting once-daily dosing for enhanced patient compliance.

Mechanism of Action:

Propranolol, the active ingredient in Prolar SR, is a non-selective beta-blocker that competitively inhibits beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors. By blocking these receptors, it reduces cardiac output, heart rate, and myocardial oxygen demand while decreasing sympathetic-mediated vasoconstriction, leading to lowered blood pressure and effective management of cardiovascular conditions and migraines.

Indications:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Angina pectoris (chest pain due to heart disease)
• Cardiac arrhythmias
• Migraine prophylaxis
• Post-myocardial infarction adjunct therapy
• Essential tremors

Dosage and Administration:

As prescribed by a physician. Typically, one Prolar SR 40 mg tablet is taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow whole; do not crush or chew to preserve the sustained-release mechanism.

Common side effects:- 

• Fatigue or tiredness
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Nausea or upset stomach
• Cold hands or feet
• Sleep disturbances

Storage

Store at 15–25°C in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
