Gam beta 40mg Tablet SR helps decrease anxiety and relieve tremors. It is also used to help prevent migraine, heart-related chest pain (angina), and bleeding in the stomach caused by high blood pressure in the liver (portal hypertension).
Gam beta 40mg Tablet SR contains Propranolol, a beta blocker. It works by affecting the body’s response to nerve impulses, especially in the heart. It slows down your heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. This prevents arrhythmias. It also widens the blood vessels in the body for better blood flow, thereby preventing angina as well as migraine. The exact mechanism by which it prevents tremors is not known, but experts believe that Gam beta 40mg Tablet SR helps block the nerve impulses to the muscles responsible for tremors. Propranolol helps block the effects of the chemical messengers namely adrenaline and noradrenaline that are produced by the brain and are responsible for increasing your heart rate which makes you feel anxious. This way it helps with anxiety. While treating pheochromocytoma, Gam beta 40mg Tablet SR may be given to block the action of high-adrenaline hormones to lower the risk of developing dangerously high blood pressure during surgery for removing the tumor..Gam beta 40mg Tablet SR contains Propranolol, a beta blocker.
