Inderal 20 Tablet consists of Propranolol (20mg). Here's how it works:

• Blocks beta adrenergic receptors: Propranolol competes with certain chemicals in your body (sympathomimetic neurotransmitters) for binding at beta(1)adrenergic receptors in your heart and beta(2)receptors in bronchial and vascular smooth muscle.

• Reduces cardiac workload: By blocking these receptors, propranolol reduces your heart rate, contractility, and cardiac output. This means that your heart doesn't have to work as hard and doesn't need as much oxygen.

• Inhibits vasodilation: In your blood vessels, propranolol prevents them from widening (vasodilation). This helps reduce the volume of blood that your heart has to pump.

• Suppresses renin release: Propranolol also suppresses the release of renin from your kidneys, resulting in less angiotensin II formation. This means there's less vasoconstriction (tightening of blood vessels), which helps lower your blood pressure.

• Store Inderal 20 Tablet at a temperature not exceeding 30°C.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep the medication out of reach of children for safety.

• Ensure you use Inderal 20 Tablet before the stated expiry date on the package.

• If you have high blood pressure or a heart condition, it is beneficial to maintain a lowsalt diet. Excessive salt can increase blood pressure, making conditions worse.

• Regular physical activity can help manage your blood pressure and heart health. However, avoid extreme exercises; opt for moderate activities like brisk walking or swimming after consulting with your doctor.
