¿Qué es Propranolol Hcl?

El clorhidrato de propranolol es un bloqueador no selectivo de los receptores beta-adrenérgicos ampliamente utilizado en el tratamiento de la hipertensión, la angina de pecho y los ritmos cardíacos irregulares. También se utiliza para controlar los síntomas físicos de la ansiedad, las migrañas y el temblor esencial. El propranolol actúa bloqueando la acción de las hormonas del estrés sobre el corazón y los vasos sanguíneos, lo que resulta en una reducción de la frecuencia cardíaca, disminución de la presión arterial y menor tensión sobre el corazón.
