The primary component in Ciplar LA is Propranolol Hydrochloride. Ciplar LA acts as a beta adrenergic receptor blocker, commonly used to treat hypertension. It alleviates chest pain and enhances the chances of survival following a heart attack. The medication works by relaxing blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and heart rate.
Ciplar LA is classified as a beta blocker and is frequently prescribed for hypertension. It is a non-selective beta blocker that attaches to beta receptors located in the heart and vascular smooth muscles, thereby inhibiting their function. This leads to several outcomes: it relaxes blood vessels and facilitates smooth arterial blood movement, ensures the heart can pump blood effortlessly throughout the body, lowers elevated blood pressure, delivers oxygen by minimizing the energy the heart expends to circulate blood, and decreases the heart's workload along with the oxygen demand necessary for pumping blood effectively.
Side effects of Ciplar LA may include impotence or reduced libido, abdominal cramps, insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, weakness, and feelings of fatigue.
