Propranolol Hydrochloride is FDA-approved for treating conditions such as hypertension, migraines, essential tremors, angina, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, hypertrophic subaortic stenosis and pheochromocytoma.

For guidance on usage, dosage, potential risks, and benefits, consult your doctor and use the medication as prescribed.

Propranolol Hydrochloride is a medication containing Propranolol, a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate and eases the heart’s workload, making it a vital treatment for conditions such as hypertension, migraines, essential tremors, angina, and more. It achieves this by blocking the nerve impulses responsible for increased heart activity, thereby stabilizing blood pressure and preventing heart attacks.

Available in tablet form, Propranolol Hydrochloride comes in strengths of 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg. The recommended dosage varies depending on the condition being treated, and it’s essential to follow your doctor’s instructions for use. Patients with conditions such as cardiogenic shock, bronchial asthma, sinus bradycardia, and congestive heart failure should avoid using this medication.

Common side effects include slow heart rate, fatigue, nausea, and insomnia, while more severe reactions can include allergic reactions and heart problems. Patients should exercise caution when using this medication, especially those with a history of heart conditions or diabetes. In case of a missed dose, take it as soon as possible unless it’s almost time for the next dose. For overdoses, seek immediate medical attention. Store the medication at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Always consult your healthcare provider for guidance on usage, dosage, and any potential interactions with other medications.
