About this active substance

Propranolol is a beta-blocker used for the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris, arrhythmias, and other cardiovascular conditions. It works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors, reducing heart rate and blood pressure.

The medication is administered orally or intravenously, as directed by a doctor, usually once to three times daily. It is important for patients to follow the treatment regimen and not abruptly discontinue the medication.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as fatigue, dizziness, or bradycardia. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include fatigue, dizziness, and bradycardia. In rare cases, severe reactions such as heart failure or bronchospasm may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
