Ciplar Plus 5 Tablet SR combines propranolol, a beta-blocker, and flunarizine, a calcium channel blocker. Together, they help stabilize reactive nerve cells and raise the threshold for migraine triggers. Flunarizine also prevents cortical spreading depression (CSD), which are electric waves in the brain that cause pain and inflammation during migraines.
