Prevention of migraine headaches
Treatment of vertigo (dizziness)
Flunarizine is a calcium channel blocker that works by reducing the flow of calcium into cells. This helps to prevent the release of chemicals that cause migraines and vertigo. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the effects of adrenaline, which can cause blood vessels to constrict and trigger migraines. The combination of Propranolol Hydrochloride 40mg Sustained Release) And Flunarizine Dihydrochloride 10mg Tablets (Flunarizine + Propranolol) provides a multi-faceted approach to managing migraine headaches and vertigo.
