About PROVANOL FORTE 0.25MG TABLET

PROVANOL FORTE 0.25MG TABLET is used to treat anxiety. Besides this, PROVANOL FORTE 0.25MG TABLET is also used to treat high blood pressure, panic disorder, seizure disorder, fast heartbeat, and migraine. Anxiety is a mental health disorder characterised by feelings of anxiety, worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one’s daily activities. Symptoms of anxiety include rapid breathing, increased heart rate, restlessness, trouble concentrating, and difficulty falling asleep.

PROVANOL FORTE 0.25MG TABLET is a combination of two drugs: Clonazepam (benzodiazepine) and Propranolol (beta-blocker). Clonazepam works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger called GABA; this helps suppress the excessive and abnormal activity of the nerve cells in the brain.
