CompositionPronol 40 Tablet 15 is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), chest pain (angina) and irregular heart rhythms. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing propranolol, from a group of medicines called beta-blockers.
This medicine is also used to help prevent migraine attacks and to ease the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as trembling and a racing heart. It works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the pressure in the arteries. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food. It is important not to stop this medicine suddenly, as this can cause a sharp rise in heart rate and blood pressure.
Healthy lifestyle changes support treatment alongside this medicine. These include reducing salt in your diet, staying active as advised, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting caffeine if it worsens your symptoms.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have asthma or breathing problems, diabetes, circulation problems, or a history of heart block, or are taking other medicines. For migraine, this medicine is used to prevent attacks rather than to treat a headache that has already started.
