Cardiplan 40mg 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 Cardiplan 40mg 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. While treating pheochromocytoma, Cardiplan 40mg Tablet may be given to block the action of high-adrenaline hormones to lower the risk of developing dangerously high blood pressure during surgery for removing the tumor.

It is not the first-choice treatment for high blood pressure according to the latest guidelines. It may hide the symptoms of low blood sugar if you have diabetes.
