Provanol 80 SR

Provanol 80 SR

Provanol 80 SR is a drug that is called a beta-blocker. It is used to treat irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, excessive migraines, chest pain from angina, anxiety and to prevent heart attacks.

Provanol 80 SR is a beta-blocking agent that attaches itself to the heart, and inhibits the regular molecules from triggering the receptors. It blocks the beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, thus slowing your heartbeat down and lowering the blood pressure. This lowers the stress placed on your heart, arteries, veins and blood vessels, decreasing the workload of the heart. In this way, it is effective in lowering blood pressure preventing a heart attack.
