Migrabeta TR

Migrabeta TR contains propranolol which is presumed to work through multiple mechanisms. It reduces blood pressure and slows down the fast heartbeat by binding to certain receptors (beta-adrenoceptors) in the smooth muscles of heart which prevents the effect of adrenaline and noradrenaline. It also prevents the release of an enzyme (renin) from the kidneys that helps in decreasing blood pressure because this enzyme plays an important role in the absorption of sodium and water from the kidneys which raises blood volume and increases blood pressure. Migrabeta TR also acts on the heart and decreases heart rate which also contributes to decreasing blood pressure and decreasing myocardial (heart) oxygen demand.

Migrabeta TR may be used for alcohol withdrawal. Clinical studies have found that it can reduce the physical withdrawal symptoms but it is ineffective in preventing the seizures due to alcohol withdrawal also it is not approved and preferred. Since it is a prescription drug, you are advised not to take this drug by yourself for alcohol withdrawal.
