P-Nolol 10 (10mg Propranolol)

Product Information

P-NOLOL 10mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used for multiple cardiovascular and neurological conditions. It helps decrease anxiety and relieve tremors. It is also used to help prevent migraine, chest pain due to heart disease (angina), and bleeding in the stomach caused by high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension).

This medicine may also be used to treat high blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). It should be taken exactly as prescribed, usually on an empty stomach and at the same time each day. Continue taking it even if you feel well, as stopping suddenly may worsen your condition.
