USES OF AMBULAX M TABLET
- Reduces anxiety and restlessness

- Reduces chest pain and high blood pressure caused due to anxiety
HOW AMBULAX M TABLET WORKS
AMBULAX
M TABLET contains two medicines namely alprazolam and propranolol.
Alprazolam is a hypnotic medicine. It suppresses the abnormal electrical
activity within the brain and induces sleep.
Propranolol is a
beta-blocker. It reduces the heart rate and force of contraction of the
heart which, therefore reduces abnormal heart signs (such as racing
heartbeat, nervousness and high blood pressure) associated with anxiety.
It
can also relax the blood vessels supplying the heart and the brain
which therefore reduces elevated blood pressure, chest pain and
migraine.
It also stops the transfer of abnormal nerve signals between the brain and the muscles which helps in reducing tremors.
