How it works
Carbnol 10mg Tablet contains Propranolol, a beta blocker. It works by affecting the body's response to nerve impulses, especially in the heart. It slows down your heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. This prevents arrhythmias. It also widens the blood vessels in the body for better blood flow, thereby preventing angina as well as migraine. The exact mechanism by which it prevents tremors is not known but experts believe that Carbnol 10mg Tablet helps block the nerve impulses to the muscles responsible for tremors. Propranolol helps block the effects of the chemical messengers namely adrenaline and noradrenaline that are produced by the brain and are responsible for increasing your heart rate which makes you feel anxious. This way it helps with anxiety.

Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as Carbnol 10mg Tablet can cause dizziness and sleepiness. Inform your doctor if you notice increased swelling around your legs or ankles, sudden weight gain or sudden shortness of breath as these may be symptoms of heart failure. Do not stop taking the medication suddenly without talking to your doctor.
