Propranolol 10mg is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline on the heart and blood vessels. This helps slow the heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and decrease physical symptoms such as palpitations and shaking.
At the 10mg strength, Propranolol is commonly prescribed for situational or performance-related anxiety, mild tremor, migraine prevention, and early or mild cardiovascular conditions. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by a clinician.
