Prolol TR-40 Capsule is 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, especially 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.

Prolol TR-40 Capsule plays a vital role in relaxing our blood vessels by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body. This lowers your blood pressure and helps reduce your risk of a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective.

You can take Prolol TR-40 Capsule orally with or without food or as directed by your physician. Swallow the whole tablet with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Prolol TR-40 Capsule is preferable to take at the same time every day for better results. Prolol TR-40 Capsule is generally safe to consume. You may have common side effects like feeling dizzy or exhausted, cold hands or feet, difficulty sleeping, and nightmares. These side effects are usually mild and short-lived. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Prolol TR-40 Capsule works by blocking both beta receptors, namely beta 1 and beta 2. Prolol TR-40 Capsule blocks the beta 1 receptor located in the heart's cells, lowering heart rate and decreasing heart blood pumping frequency, decreasing raised blood pressure. On the other hand, Prolol TR-40 Capsule also blocks beta 2 receptors located in the lungs (bronchioles) and blood vessels of skeletal muscle, narrowing it. This, in turn, lowers your overall body's blood pressure and helps reduce the risk of a stroke, a heart attack, heart problems or kidney problems in the future. Prolol TR-40 Capsule also improves the symptoms of heart-related chest pain (angina) and may increase a person's stamina to do exercise with angina. Prolol TR-40 Capsule is used in combination with thiazide diuretics and other medicines to treat high blood pressure. Additionally, Prolol TR-40 Capsule reduces symptoms of essential tremor (fits) and prevents migraine. Prolol TR-40 Capsule can reduce symptoms of too much thyroid hormone (thyrotoxicosis) and can be taken together with thyroid-related medicines to treat an overactive thyroid.
