Etipro Tablets 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. Etipro Tab should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Etipro Tab should be taken for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. You may experience confusion, slow heart rate, memory impairment, tiredness, and cold extremities in some cases. However, if side effects are persistent, you should contact your doctor. Most of these side effects of Etipro Tab do not need medical attention and gradually disappear over time. It is essential to inform your doctor if you plan on becoming pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you are pregnant or get pregnant while on treatment. Etipro Tab is a habit-forming medication, so continue the medication for the duration as prescribed by your doctor. Etipro Tab may cause withdrawal symptoms if you discontinue it abruptly. Etipro Tab may cause you to feel drowsy, so you should not drive or operate heavy machinery. Avoid alcohol consumption as it may reduce the effectiveness of Etipro Tab.
