Betanaz Plus 40mg/5mg Tablet TR is used to treat migraine. It consists of 'Propranolol' and 'Flunarizine'. Propranolol is a beta-blocker and has anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing), anti-arrhythmic, and antihypertensive properties. It works by lowering cerebral (brain) blood flow and inhibits cortical spreading depression, electrical activity in the brain that causes pain and inflammation. It reduces the severity and frequency of migraine headaches. Flunarizine is a channel blocker that improves blood flow and dilates blood vessels in the brain, thereby preventing headaches caused due to migraine.
