Proternol is a brand name for the medication isoproterenol, a stimulant medication used to treat bradycardia (slow heart rate), heart block, and cardiac arrest. It works by stimulating the beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, which increases heart rate and contractility (force of contraction). It can also relax the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe.
Proternol is available in both tablet and injection form. The tablets are typically used to prevent bradycardia, while the injection is used to treat more acute cases, such as cardiac arrest.
Here are some things to keep in mind about Proternol:
- It is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor.
- It can cause side effects, such as nervousness, anxiety, headache, tremor, sweating, and palpitations.
- It can interact with other medications, so it is important to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking before starting Proternol.
