About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Zinepra 5 Tablet SR is a sustained-release formulation combining Propranolol 40mg and Flunarizine 5mg, indicated for the prophylaxis and management of migraine headaches and certain cardiovascular conditions. Propranolol, a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker, exerts its therapeutic effects by reducing heart rate, myocardial contractility, and blood pressure, thereby decreasing cardiac workload and oxygen demand. It is commonly utilized in the prevention of angina pectoris, hypertension, and arrhythmias. Flunarizine, a calcium channel blocker with antihistaminic properties, acts by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and neuronal cells, contributing to cerebral vasodilation and stabilization of neuronal excitability. This dual-action combination is particularly effective in reducing the frequency and severity of migraine attacks by modulating vascular tone and neuronal hyperexcitability. Zinepra 5 Tablet SR’s sustained-release mechanism ensures a gradual and prolonged drug release, enhancing patient compliance and maintaining steady plasma concentrations. It is contraindicated in patients with asthma, severe bradycardia, or hypersensitivity to either component. Common adverse effects may include fatigue, dizziness, gastrointestinal disturbances, and peripheral edema. Dosage should be individualized based on clinical response and tolerability, with careful monitoring in patients with comorbid conditions.

About Propranolol
Propranolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist used to manage various cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, angina, and arrhythmias. It is also effective in preventing migraines and alleviating symptoms of anxiety. By blocking beta receptors, Propranolol reduces heart rate and myocardial contractility, leading to decreased cardiac workload. In summary, Propranolol is a versatile medication essential for managing heart-related conditions and anxiety.
How It Works
Propranolol blocks beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors, resulting in decreased heart rate, myocardial contractility, and overall cardiac output.
