Uses of Prolol 80 MG Capsule TR

What is it prescribed for?

Hypertension

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels is high. Prolol 80 MG Capsule TR is used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents for the treatment of high blood pressure which may be caused by genetic or environmental factors. It slows down your heart rate and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood.

Angina pectoris

Angina pectoris is a heart condition characterized by pain in the chest radiating to the arms, neck and back. It is caused by reduced blood flow to your heart. Prolol 80 MG Capsule TR widens the blood vessels in your body and improves the blood flow, thus decrease the frequency of chest pain.
