Introduction
Mizral-SR 40 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 Mizral-SR 40 Tablet helps block the nerve impulses to the muscles responsible for tremors.

Quick Tips
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. Monitor blood sugar levels regularly. To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as Mizral-SR 40 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.
