Provanol SR 80 Tablet is prescribed to reduce anxiety and alleviate tremors. It’s also effective in preventing migraines, angina (heart-related chest pain), and stomach bleeding caused by portal hypertension (high blood pressure in the liver).
This medication may additionally be used to manage hypertension and certain cardiac arrhythmias. The prescribed dosage varies based on your condition and individual response to treatment. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. For optimal absorption, take this medication on an empty stomach at consistent times daily. Continue treatment even when feeling well, as the therapeutic benefits persist. Abrupt discontinuation may cause your condition to deteriorate.
Common adverse effects include fatigue, weakness, cold extremities (Raynaud’s phenomenon), bradycardia or irregular heartbeat, finger numbness, and dyspnea. Gastrointestinal disturbances like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur. Consult your physician if side effects persist or become bothersome. Most reactions are transient and diminish as your system adapts to the medication.
Contraindications include asthma, severe bradycardia, significant cardiac conduction disorders, and heart failure. Exercise caution with renal/hepatic impairment or COPD. Alcohol consumption may interfere with drug efficacy and should be avoided. Refrain from driving if experiencing dizziness. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use.
