Inderal 40 mg 50 tablets

Inderal 40 mg 50 tablets:

• Propranolol Hydrochloride 40 mg film-coated tablets.
• Inderal 40 mg tablets belong to antihypertensive medications.

How propranolol works:

• It prevents the stimulation of beta adrenergic receptors, and beta receptors stimulate the heart and increase the heart rate and contraction force.
• Beta blockers protect the heart from excessive activity. This medication works by influencing the body's response to certain nerve impulses, especially in the heart.
• As a result, it slows the heart rate and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body.

Uses of Inderal 40 mg:

• High blood pressure: High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of blood against the walls of the arteries is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.
• Angina (chest pain).
• Some irregular heartbeats (heart rhythm disorders).
• Protecting the heart after myocardial infarction (heart attack).
• Migraines.
• Essential tremor (involuntary and regular shaking).
• Some thyroid diseases.
• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart muscle).
• Pheochromocytoma (high blood pressure, usually due to a tumor near the kidney).
• Bleeding in the esophagus resulting from high blood pressure.

How to use Inderal 40 mg tablets:

grown ups:

• High blood pressure (hypertension): Initially 40 mg two or three times daily, which may be increased by 80 mg daily at weekly intervals.
• Angina (chest pain) and tremors: Initially 40 mg two to three times daily, which may be increased by 40 mg daily at weekly intervals.
• Heart protection after a heart attack: Initially 40 mg four times a day and after a few days it changes to 80 mg twice a day.
• Arrhythmia: 10 to 40 mg three or four times daily.
• Pheochromocytoma: Before surgery: 60 mg daily. Non-surgical treatment dose: 30 mg daily.
• Liver diseases caused by high blood pressure: Initially 40 mg twice daily, increased to 80 mg twice daily.

children:

• Propranolol can also be used to treat children with migraines and irregular heartbeats: for migraines, the dose for under 12 years is 20 mg two or three times daily and the adult dose is for children 12 years or older.
• Propranolol can also be used to treat children with migraines and arrhythmias: in case of arrhythmia, the dose is adjusted by the doctor according to the child's age or weight.

Warnings and precautions:

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking propranolol if you:

• You have a history of allergic reactions to things like insect stings.
• You have diabetes because propranolol may change your normal response to low blood sugar, which usually involves an increase in heart rate. Propranolol may cause low blood sugar levels even in non-diabetic patients.
• You have thyrotoxicosis. Propranolol may mask symptoms of thyrotoxicosis.
• You have kidney or liver problems (including cirrhosis). If so, talk to your doctor because you may need to have some tests during treatment.
• You have heart problems.
• Suffer from muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis).
• You have conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchospasm because using propranolol can worsen these conditions.
• Use channel blockers with negative inotropic effects such as verapamil and diltiazem.
• You think you may be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to have a baby.
