Tenec Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘anxiolytics’ used in the treatment of anxiety disorder. Anxiety is the repeated or persistent feeling of fear and worry about what’s about to come, which can interfere with your daily activities. Symptoms include irritability, lack of concentration, nervousness, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, and trembling.

Tenec Tablet contains Diazepam and Propranolol. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine and works by increasing the levels of chemicals in the brain that produce a calming effect. Propranolol is a beta-blocker.

It works by reducing blood flow to the brain by directly acting on the brain's blood vessels. This reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
