Propranolol 40mg (SR) + Flunarizine 10mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Propranolol 40mg + Flunarizine 10mg tablet is a preventive treatment for recurrent migraine when combined propranolol and flunarizine therapy is appropriate. It aims to reduce future attack frequency and severity, not provide immediate relief during an attack.

How to use

Swallow the sustained-release tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it. Take it regularly for migraine prevention, not as a rescue medicine during an attack. Do not drive if sleepy or dizzy, and report mood changes or abnormal movements.

How it works

Propranolol blocks beta receptors and flunarizine modulates calcium-channel-related neuronal and vascular activity, together reducing migraine susceptibility in selected patients.

Side effects

Possible effects include tiredness, dizziness, sleepiness, slow pulse, low blood pressure, nausea, weight gain, increased appetite, dry mouth, and mood change. Serious concerns include bronchospasm, severe bradycardia, depression, parkinsonism, abnormal movements, worsening heart failure, and allergic reaction.

Important information

Tell your doctor about asthma or COPD, heart block, a slow pulse, heart failure, diabetes, depression, Parkinson's disease, other movement problems or concerns about weight gain. Mention pregnancy, breastfeeding, alcohol, sedatives, antiarrhythmics and calcium-channel blockers.
