Description

Propranolol SDV 1mg/mL is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist used for the management of various cardiovascular conditions. It works by blocking the effects of norepinephrine and epinephrine on beta-adrenergic receptors, leading to a decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and myocardial oxygen demand.

As an injectable formulation, Propranolol SDV 1mg/mL is administered in clinical settings for rapid effect, particularly in cases of acute hypertension, arrhythmic episodes, or preoperative preparation. The drug is often used in emergency situations where rapid and controlled lowering of blood pressure or heart rate is required.

Propranolol is metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 system and has a half-life of approximately 3 to 6 hours. It is excreted primarily in the urine, with a small amount in the feces. Prolonged use of propranolol requires careful monitoring due to its potential to cause side effects such as bradycardia, hypotension, or bronchospasm.
