Propranolol Tablets are a prescription-only beta-blocker used to relieve the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, and shaking. They are especially effective for people experiencing performance anxiety or generalised anxiety with pronounced physical symptoms. This non-addictive option helps restore calm and improve daily functioning.

How It Works

Propranolol belongs to a class of medicines called beta-blockers. It works by blocking the action of adrenaline on the heart and other parts of the body. This reduces heart rate and blood pressure, easing the physical sensations associated with anxiety. While it does not directly treat the psychological causes of anxiety, it effectively manages the physical symptoms that can be distressing and overwhelming.

Why Choose Propranolol Tablets

Propranolol Tablets are a popular option for individuals looking for fast, short-term relief from anxiety symptoms. They are commonly used before public speaking, interviews, or other anxiety-provoking events. In some cases, they are also prescribed for ongoing generalised anxiety, especially when symptoms are largely physical. Many users report feeling calmer and more in control after taking their dose. The tablets are also well-tolerated and non-sedating, making them suitable for daytime use.

Important Note

Propranolol should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not stop taking it abruptly, as this can cause a rebound increase in heart rate or blood pressure. Let your prescriber know if you have asthma, diabetes, or circulation problems, as these may affect suitability. For the best results, take the tablets exactly as prescribed, and discuss any concerns with your clinician.
