Common use
Inderal (propranolol) is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker used to treat a range of heart and circulatory conditions including:
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
Angina (chest pain)
Prevention of migrain headaches
Performance anxiety
Post-heart attack treatment
It works by blocking stress hormones like adrenaline, helping the heart to beat more calmly and with less force. This results in lower heart rate, blood preasure, and reduced oxygen demand from the heart.
Dosage and direction
Inderal is usually taken 1 to 4 times per day, depending on your condition and doctors instructions.
For high blood pressure: 40 mg twice daily is typical; dose may be adjusted.
For migraine prevention: 80-240 mg/day divided in smaller doses.
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Take it at the same time(s) each day for best results.
Do not stop taking it suddenly - this can worsen heart symptoms or cause severe complications.
