PLUS TABLET is a combination of Alprazolam and Propranolol which
belongs to the group of medicines called Anxiolytics and

alcoholism or drug abuse or thyroid problems as a precaution. Avoid

Do not take LAM PLUS TABLET without

USES OF LAM PLUS TABLET
- Reduces anxiety and restlessness
- Manage panic attacks, tremors (shakiness) and migraine headache
- Reduces chest pain and high blood pressure caused due to anxiety
HOW LAM PLUS TABLET WORKS
LAM
PLUS 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.
