Provanol 10mg Tablet (Propranolol 10mg)

PROVANOL 10MG TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart related chest pain (angina), heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) and preventing symptoms of migraine headache and tremors (fits). It affects our heart and blood circulatory system specially controlling blood through arteries and veins. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.
