Propranolol is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as beta-blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, like epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels.
This medication is available in both immediate-release and extended-release forms, offering flexible dosing options based on individual needs. The immediate-release form is usually taken multiple times per day, while the extended-release form can be taken once daily.
Propranolol is FDA-approved for the treatment of various conditions including hypertension, but it may also be used off-label for other health concerns such as migraine prevention, performance anxiety, and insomnia. Off-label use means that while the medication is considered safe and effective for these additional conditions, they have not been fully studied or approved by the FDA for these specific uses.
It is crucial to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Propranolol to ensure the best possible outcome and to minimize potential side effects. Never stop taking Propranolol abruptly, as doing so can lead to significant withdrawal symptoms. If you need to discontinue the medication, your doctor will provide a plan to taper off the dosage gradually.
