Medical Description
Etipro Tab is an anti-anxiety medication primarily used to treat anxiety disorders. An anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive fear or worry that interferes with daily activities. A high level of anxiety can trigger panic attacks characterized by intense feelings of nervousness, fear, sweating, hyperventilation, and a fast heartbeat.
Etipro Tab is a combination of Etizolam and Propranolol. Etizolam in Etipro Tab works by increasing a chemical messenger called Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), which suppresses the excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain. Propranolol prevents a specific chemical messenger from reaching the heart and blood vessels, thus reducing blood pressure, heart rate, and workload on the heart.
