PROPRANOLOL CAPSULES
PROLAR SR 40
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:-Â
- Fatigue or tiredness
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Nausea or upset stomach
- Cold hands or feet
- Sleep disturbances
