Medicinal Advantages:
Migraine Prevention: Helps reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
Angina Relief: Lowers heart workload and improves blood flow to reduce angina symptoms.
Blood Pressure Control: Effective in lowering high blood pressure and reducing cardiovascular risk.

Mechanism of Action:
Propranolol, the active ingredient in PROPOL 20 MG, works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart and blood vessels. This action reduces the effects of stress hormones like adrenaline, which helps decrease heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. For migraines, Propranolol stabilizes blood vessels in the brain, reducing the occurrence of migraine attacks.

Off-Label Uses:
Propranolol may be used off-label to manage conditions such as anxiety, tremors, and certain types of irregular heartbeats. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance on these uses.
