Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker, meaning it blocks the action of both beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors. It's primarily used to treat conditions related to the cardiovascular system like high blood pressure, angina, and abnormal heart rhythms. It also finds use in managing migraines, tremors, and anxiety. Propranolol works by slowing down the heart rate and relaxing blood vessels, reducing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow.
For high blood pressure, angina, abnormal heart rhythms, migraines, tremors, and anxiety.
