Pronol 40 mg Tablet

Pronol 40 mg Tablet is an oral prescription medicine that contains propranolol 40 mg in each tablet. Propranolol belongs to the beta-blocker class and is used to help manage heart-related conditions by lowering heart rate and reducing the workload on the heart. Pronol 40 mg Tablet may be prescribed for high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), certain abnormal heart rhythms, migraine prevention, and other doctor-approved uses. It is manufactured by Knoll Healthcare, India and comes as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Propranolol blocks beta receptors, which helps slow the heartbeat and reduce how hard the heart has to work. As a tablet, Pronol 40 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system to provide whole-body effects over time.

Pronol 40 mg Tablet is a medium-strength propranolol tablet that may be chosen when a doctor wants a dose higher than the lower tablet strengths but still needs flexibility for step-by-step dosing. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this 40 mg tablet is the exact tablet strength being dispensed, and it should be used only as directed after a clinician has assessed your needs.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Certain fast or irregular heart rhythms
• Migraine prevention
• Symptom control for anxiety-related tremor or palpitations, if prescribed

• Swallow Pronol 40 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to keep a steady effect.
• You may take it with or without food; taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is acceptable for your specific prescription.
• If you are using it for a condition where timing matters, follow your doctor’s exact schedule rather than changing the timing on your own.

Each Pronol 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of propranolol. The number of times it is taken per day varies by the condition being treated and by the individual patient; some people take it once daily, while others need divided doses. Your doctor determines the exact dose and the maximum daily amount for you, and the 40 mg tablet should not be used to self-adjust treatment.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Propranolol may include:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Slow heartbeat
• Cold hands or feet
• Nausea
• Sleep changes or vivid dreams

• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, COPD, or any history of wheezing, because propranolol can narrow the airways.

• Do not stop Pronol 40 mg Tablet suddenly unless your prescriber tells you to; abrupt stopping can worsen chest pain or heart rhythm problems.
• This medicine can cause dizziness or tiredness, so be careful driving or using machinery until you know how it affects you.

• Tell your clinician about low blood pressure, slow pulse, heart block, or heart failure before using this tablet.
• If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, ask your doctor about the risks and benefits first.

• Other blood pressure medicines, especially calcium channel blockers or clonidine
• Heart rhythm medicines that can also slow the pulse
• Insulin and diabetes pills, because low blood sugar symptoms may be harder to notice
• Asthma medicines such as albuterol, since propranolol can reduce their effect
