Ciplar-LA 40 Tablet

Product Overview

Ciplar-LA 40 Tablet is a prescription medication used to prevent chest pain caused by angina, reduce the frequency of migraines, and manage conditions such as pheochromocytoma (a rare adrenal gland tumor). It works by slowing the heart rate and relaxing the blood vessels, which helps reduce the workload on the heart and improves circulation.

This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, depending on your condition and response to treatment. It can be taken with or without food but should be consumed at a consistent time every day. Even if you feel well, continue taking the medication to maintain its effectiveness. Stopping it suddenly can worsen your condition.

Common Side Effects

Some frequent side effects include fatigue, dizziness, weakness, cold hands or feet, and stomach discomfort. Other possible reactions are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms are usually temporary as the body adapts to the medication. However, if they persist or cause discomfort, consult your doctor.

Precautions Before Use

Avoid using this medicine if you have asthma, severe heart conditions such as heart failure, or abnormal heart rhythms. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver issues or suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Alcohol can interfere with how the medicine works and should be avoided. Do not drive if you feel dizzy after taking the medication. Discuss with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting treatment.

How Ciplar-LA Tablet Works

The active ingredient in Ciplar-LA 40 Tablet is propranolol, a beta-blocker. It influences nerve signals in the heart, slowing the heartbeat and improving blood circulation. This helps prevent irregular heart rhythms and relieves chest pain caused by angina. Propranolol also relaxes blood vessels, aiding in migraine prevention and anxiety control. For pheochromocytoma, it helps manage excessive hormone release and reduces the risk of dangerously high blood pressure during surgery.
