Ciplar 10 mg (Propranolol)
Ciplar 10 mg contains propranolol, a **non-selective beta-blocker** widely used for anxiety symptoms (such as palpitations and tremors), hypertension, angina, migraine prevention, essential tremor and certain heart rhythm disturbances. It reduces the effects of adrenaline on the body, helping control heart rate and physical symptoms of stress.
This low-dose 10 mg formulation is commonly used for **anxiety episodes**, tremors, situational performance anxiety, and as part of titration regimens for cardiovascular conditions.
Product introduction
Propranolol blocks both β₁ and β₂ adrenergic receptors, reducing heart rate, blood pressure and tremors. Ciplar 10 mg provides rapid onset and is especially useful for short-term or symptom-triggered treatment (e.g., before stressful events), though it may also be taken regularly depending on the indication.
Uses of Ciplar 10 mg (Propranolol)
Common clinical uses include:
- Performance or situational anxiety (stage fright, presentations)
- Generalised anxiety symptoms (palpitations, shaking)
- Essential tremor
- Migraine prevention
- Hypertension (adjunctive)
- Angina pectoris
- Thyroid storm symptoms / hyperthyroidism-related palpitations
- Certain arrhythmias (e.g., supraventricular tachycardia) — clinician-directed
Note: Dosage varies significantly by condition; use only as prescribed.
Benefits of Ciplar 10 mg (Propranolol)
- Reduces physical anxiety symptoms: slows heart rate, reduces shaking/tremors.
- Effective migraine prophylaxis: lowers attack frequency when used long-term.
- Controls tachycardia and palpitations: helpful in stress-induced or hyperthyroid states.
- Useful in essential tremor: improves hand steadiness for many patients.
- Short onset: often works within 30–60 minutes for situational anxiety.
Side effects of Ciplar 10 mg
Propranolol is usually well tolerated at low doses, but side effects can occur.
Common side effects
- Fatigue or low energy
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Cold hands and feet
- Sleep disturbances or vivid dreams
- Slow heart rate
Serious risks: severe bradycardia, wheezing or breathing difficulty (due to β₂ blockade), fainting, or worsening of heart failure. Seek urgent care if significant breathing difficulty or chest symptoms occur.
How to use Ciplar 10 mg (Propranolol)
- Take exactly as advised by your clinician. For anxiety episodes, 10–20 mg may be taken 30–60 minutes before the stressful event.
- For regular daily use (migraine, tremor, blood pressure), dosing may be 10–40 mg up to 2–3 times daily—your doctor will individualise the plan.
- Take with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset.
- Do not discontinue suddenly, especially if taking regularly—this may cause rebound tachycardia or increased blood pressure.
How Ciplar works
Propranolol blocks β₁ and β₂ adrenergic receptors, reducing the effects of adrenaline. This lowers heart rate, reduces tremors and decreases blood pressure. Its lipophilic nature also contributes to its effectiveness in migraine prevention and anxiety-related symptoms.
Safety advice
| Asthma / COPD | Use with caution or avoid — propranolol blocks β₂ receptors and can worsen breathing problems. |
| Diabetes | Can mask low blood sugar symptoms; monitor glucose closely. |
| Heart conditions | Avoid in severe bradycardia, heart block, or uncontrolled heart failure unless specifically supervised. |
| Pregnancy / Breastfeeding | Use only under clinician guidance; dosing adjustments may be needed. |
| Driving | May cause dizziness; avoid hazardous tasks until you know how it affects you. |
| Drug interactions | Caution with calcium-channel blockers (verapamil, diltiazem), antiarrhythmics, insulin, antipsychotics and sedatives; additive effects may occur. |
What if you forget a dose?
- If taking regularly, take as soon as remembered unless near the next dose.
- Do not double doses.
- If using situationally (one-off anxiety dose), skip if the event has passed.
All substitutes
Alternative medicines depend on indication:
