NEUROB-SR 40 (Propranolol - SR 40mg)

NEUROB-SR 40 Tablet is commonly prescribed to manage anxiety and control tremors. It also plays a role in preventing migraines, reducing chest pain caused by heart conditions (angina), and managing bleeding due to elevated pressure in the liver (portal hypertension).

Additionally, NEUROB-SR 40 Tablet is effective in treating high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias). The dosage varies depending on your medical condition and how your body reacts to the medication. It should always be taken according to your doctor’s instructions—ideally on an empty stomach and at the same time daily. Even if you feel better, do not stop taking it abruptly without medical advice, as this can worsen your condition.

Common side effects may include fatigue, weakness, cold hands and feet (Raynaud’s phenomenon), a slow or irregular heartbeat, and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea may occur as well. These side effects usually subside as your body adjusts, but consult your doctor if they persist or become troublesome.

This medicine should be avoided in individuals with asthma, severe heart rhythm disorders, or serious heart failure. Those with liver or kidney conditions or chronic respiratory illnesses like COPD should use it with caution. Avoid alcohol while on this medication, as it can alter its effects. If the medicine causes dizziness, avoid driving or operating machinery. Always consult your healthcare provider before using this medicine during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

NEUROB-SR 40 Tablet contains Propranolol, a beta-blocker. It functions by blocking the effects of certain stress hormones like adrenaline, thereby reducing heart rate and easing the workload on the heart. This improves blood flow and helps manage angina, migraines, and irregular heart rhythms.

In anxiety and tremor control, it calms the body's overactive stress response. Though its exact mechanism for reducing tremors isn't fully understood, it's believed to limit excessive nerve activity that causes muscle shaking. In cases of pheochromocytoma (a rare tumor of the adrenal glands), it helps reduce the risk of high blood pressure during surgery.
