Pronate 40 Tablet helps decrease anxiety and relieve tremors. It is also used to help prevent migraine, heart-related chest pain (angina), and bleeding in the stomach caused by high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension).

Introduction:
Pronate 40 Tablet is a medication primarily used to manage anxiety, tremors, migraines, heart-related chest pain (angina), and bleeding in the stomach due to high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). It contains Propranolol, a beta blocker that affects the body's response to nerve impulses, particularly in the heart. This medication slows down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood, thereby preventing arrhythmias and widening blood vessels for better blood flow. While it is effective in treating these conditions, it may cause dizziness and sleepiness, and it is not the first-choice treatment for high blood pressure according to the latest guidelines. Patients with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels regularly as it may hide symptoms of low blood sugar. It is important to consult a doctor before stopping the medication suddenly.

How it Works:
Pronate 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, preventing 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 Pronate 40 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. While treating pheochromocytoma, Pronate 40 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.
