Introduction
Ropnol 60mg Tablet SR is a medication primarily used to decrease anxiety and relieve tremors. It is also effective in preventing migraines, heart-related chest pain (angina), and bleeding in the stomach caused by high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension). The active ingredient in Ropnol 60mg Tablet SR is Propranolol, a beta blocker that affects the body's response to nerve impulses, particularly in the heart. It slows down the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body, thereby preventing arrhythmias and widening blood vessels for better blood flow. This medication may cause dizziness and sleepiness, and it is important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly if you have diabetes. Consult your doctor before stopping the medication suddenly.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Ropnol 60mg Tablet SR is to be taken on an empty stomach. Avoid Ropnol 60mg Tablet SR with high-fat meals such as olive oil, nuts & seeds (Brazil nuts), dark chocolate, butter, and meat.
How it works
Ropnol 60mg Tablet SR 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 and migraines. The exact mechanism by which it prevents tremors is not known, but experts believe that Ropnol 60mg Tablet SR helps block the nerve impulses to the muscles responsible for tremors. Propranolol helps block the effects of the chemical messengers adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are produced by the brain and are responsible for increasing your heart rate, making you feel anxious. While treating pheochromocytoma, Ropnol 60mg Tablet SR 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.
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 Ropnol 60mg Tablet SR 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.
