Ciplar is a widely used non-selective beta blocker medication that helps lower high blood pressure and alleviates chest pain resulting from inadequate blood flow to the heart. The active component in Ciplar is Propranolol Hydrochloride. Additionally, Ciplar is utilized for managing complications related to the heart, blood vessels, and other organs.
Ciplar functions as a beta blocker and is one of the most frequently prescribed medications for hypertension. It binds to beta receptors in the heart and vascular smooth muscles, inhibiting their action. This leads to several effects: it relaxes blood vessels and promotes smooth arterial blood flow, enables the heart to pump blood effortlessly throughout the body, lowers high blood pressure levels, delivers oxygen by reducing the energy expenditure of the heart during blood circulation, and diminishes both the workload of the heart and the oxygen demand needed for pumping blood.
Some side effects of Ciplar may include: impotence or lowered libido, abdominal cramps, insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, weakness, and fatigue.
