Description

Propranolol HCl ER 60 mg is a long-acting beta-adrenergic receptor blocker commonly used to manage cardiovascular conditions. This medication is particularly effective in treating hypertension, angina pectoris, and arrhythmias. By blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, propranolol reduces heart rate, myocardial contractility, and oxygen demand, which contributes to its effectiveness in controlling blood pressure and preventing chest pain.

Each extended-release capsule contains 60 mg of propranolol hydrochloride, formulated to release the medication gradually over time. This sustained-release mechanism allows for once-daily dosing, improving patient compliance and providing consistent therapeutic levels throughout the day. The capsules are typically supplied in bottles containing 100 units, ensuring an adequate supply for extended use.

Propranolol HCl ER is also used in the prevention of migraine headaches and management of essential tremors. It has additional applications in reducing symptoms of anxiety, such as tachycardia, in stressful situations. The medication's ability to reduce heart rate and control adrenergic activity makes it a versatile treatment option for various conditions.
