Provanol 10 Tablet contains propranolol (10 mg), which acts on your body through the following mechanisms:

• Beta-adrenergic receptor blockade: Propranolol works by blocking the action of natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This helps slow down the heart rate and reduce blood pressure.

• Reduced cardiac output: By slowing down the heart rate, propranolol effectively decreases the workload on the heart.

• Inhibition of renin release: Propranolol inhibits the release of renin, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating blood pressure.

• Decreased oxygen requirements: By reducing the workload on the heart, propranolol also reduces its oxygen requirements. This effect helps prevent angina attacks by reducing the heart's demand for oxygen.

• Store Provanol 10 Tablet at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine away from excess heat and direct sunlight as it can affect its potency.

• Avoid storing in damp areas like bathrooms to prevent moisture damage.

• Always ensure the medicine is kept out of reach of children.

• For managing high blood pressure, reduce your salt intake. High sodium levels can elevate blood pressure, so opt for low-sodium alternatives and avoid processed foods.
