Inderal (Propranolol Tablets)

Inderal (Propranolol Tablets) used

Inderal (Propranolol Tablets) are used to treat a variety of heart conditions including control of hypertension (high blood pressure); management of angina (chest pain); long-term prevention of myocardial infarction (heart attack); and control of most forms of arrhythmias and dysrhythmias (irregular heart beat or rhythm). Inderal (Propranolol Tablets) is also used for reducing anxiety, preventing of migraine, treating certain tremor conditions and controlling thyrotoxicosis (overactive thyroid). Inderal (Propranolol Tablets) work through a common mechanism in several different body systems to manage the condition and relieve symptoms by reducing heart rate (pulse), workload on the heart (force needed to pump) and oxygen demand by the heart, increasing blood flow and lowering blood pressure.

Inderal (Propranolol Tablets) work

Inderal (Propranolol Tablets) contain propanolol, which is a beta-blocker or selective beta1-receptor antagonist and acts by blocking the action of chemicals called catecholamines, such as adrenaline (epinephrine), which are released by the adrenal glands in response to nerve stimulation during physical and mental stress. Adrenaline works via beta-receptors in the heart to stimulate increased heart rate and constriction (narrowing) of blood vessels. These actions of adrenaline are blocked by propanolol in Inderal (Propranolol Tablets), to slow heart rate, dilate (widen) blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and increase blood flow and oxygen to the heart. Since beta-receptors are found in many tissues, particularly the heart, kidneys, vascular smooth muscle in blood vessel walls, lung, skeletal muscle and liver, all short-term and long-term symptom relief due to taking Inderal (Propranolol Tablets), is based on blocking beta-receptors in the target tissue.
