Question

I've been taking Ciplar LA 20 for the past 40 days as prescribed by my doctor who recommended continuing it for another 30 days. Today, after washing my car, I felt really tired and had a light headache that went away after resting. Then, when I drove about 15 km to a ceremony, I felt restless and had another light headache. While driving, I experienced a brief moment of dizziness. Could this be due to acidity, or are these side effects of Ciplar? What do you suggest I do?

The symptoms you are experiencing such as tiredness, light headache, restlessness, and dizziness could be potential side effects of Ciplar LA 20 (Propranolol). These side effects are commonly reported with this medication. It is important to monitor these symptoms and discuss them with your doctor. If you are experiencing discomfort, it is advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation. They may adjust the dosage or recommend an alternative treatment based on your individual health condition.
