Understanding Propranolol: Your Heart's Calming Shield
Propranolol is a trusted non-cardioselective beta-blocker medication that has been helping Filipinos manage high blood pressure (hypertension), irregular heartbeats, angina, and even performance anxiety for decades. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition under Beta-adrenoceptor Blockers, you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment for cardiovascular and neurological health.
How Propranolol Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your body is like a car with the accelerator stuck down—racing heart, shaking hands, and high pressure. Propranolol acts like a "smart brake system"—it blocks adrenaline (the stress hormone) from binding to beta receptors in your heart and blood vessels. This helps:
- Slow down your heart rate (fewer beats per minute)
- Reduce the force of heart contractions (less workload)
- Lower blood pressure (relaxed blood vessels)
- Calm tremors and anxiety symptoms (steady hands and nerves)
- Prevent migraine headaches (relaxed blood vessels in the brain)

Mahalagang Impormasyon sa Tagalog
Propranolol: Ang Maaasahang Tagapagtanggol ng Iyong Puso
Ang Propranolol ay isang non-cardioselective beta-blocker na gamot na matagal nang tinatagalan ng mga Pilipino para sa altapresyon, irregular na heartbeat, angina, at performance anxiety. Ayon sa Philippine National Formulary (8th Edition), ito ay aprubado ng DOH bilang essential medicine para sa cardiovascular at neurological health.
Paano Gumagana ang Propranolol?
Isipin na ang iyong katawan ay parang kotse na naka-stuck ang accelerator—mabilis na heartbeat, nanginginig na kamay, at mataas na pressure. Ang Propranolol ay parang "smart brake system"—pinipigilan nito ang adrenaline (stress hormone) sa pag-bind sa beta receptors sa puso at blood vessels. Resulta: bumabagal ang heartbeat, bumababa ang blood pressure, at nagiging kalmado ang nerves.
