What is Inderal

PropranololThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryPropranolol is a drug used to treat high blood pressure, made up of two different enantiomers. The S(-)-enantiomer has much higher binding affinity for beta adrenergic receptors. Propranolol was approved by the FDA in 1967 and is widely used to treat many conditions.

Effectiveness

How Inderal Affects PatientsPropranolol is a drug used to treat high blood pressure. It is taken once or twice a day, depending on the situation. If patients stop taking propranolol suddenly, they may experience chest pain or a heart attack.
How Inderal works in the bodyPropranolol is a drug that blocks beta-adrenergic receptors. When blocked, these receptors cause the blood vessels to narrow and stop the growth of new blood vessels. It also helps stop the body from creating certain hormones that affect blood pressure.

When to interrupt dosage

The measure of Inderal is contingent upon the identified disease, including Catecholamines, Hypertensive sickness and Hemangiomas. The amount of dosage is contingent on the administration procedure (e.g. Solution - Oral or Capsule, extended release - Oral) delineated in the table beneath.

There are 20 known major drug interactions with Inderal.
Common Inderal Drug Interactions
Drug Name
Risk Level
Description
4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine
Major
The therapeutic efficacy of 4-Bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine can be decreased when used in combination with Propranolol.
4-Methoxyamphetamine
Major
The therapeutic efficacy of 4-Methoxyamphetamine can be decreased when used in combination with Propranolol.
Abediterol
Major
Propranolol may decrease the bronchodilatory activities of Abediterol.
Adrafinil
Major
The therapeutic efficacy of Adrafinil can be decreased when used in combination with Propranolol.
Agrostis gigantea pollen
Major
The risk of a hypersensitivity reaction to Agrostis gigantea pollen is increased when it is combined with Propranolol.
Inderal Toxicity & Overdose RiskOverdosing on propranolol can cause low blood pressure, seizures, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping. Those with asthma may experience difficulty breathing. If a patient overdoses on propranolol, their vital signs and mental status should be monitored, and low blood pressure should be treated with intravenous fluids. To treat bradycardia, atropine or isoproterenol and aminophylline can be used. Glucagon is recommended if intravenous fluids are not effective, followed by catecholamines. Dialysis will not be effective since propranolol is highly protein bound.

Inderal Reviews: What are patients saying about Inderal?

5Patient Review

Inderal for Essential Tremor
So far, I'm really pleased with this medication. I was on Primidone for three years to treat my tremors, but my doctor told me to add Inderal (which is really just the generic version) to the mix. So far, it's been working great and I haven't had any tremors. The only downside is that I have to be careful about gaining weight, but I'm hoping to conquer that at the gym.

Inderal for Migraine Prevention
Inderal has really cut down on the frequency and severity of my migraines. I'm willing to put up with a little fatigue and weight gain in order to have fewer migraines.

Inderal for Anxious
Inderal has been an absolute game-changer for me and my panic attacks. They've significantly decreased since starting the medication, and I haven't experienced any negative side effects (aside from feeling tired occasionally).

Inderal for Migraine Prevention
This medicine has been a total game-changer for me. I used to suffer from 1-2 migraines per week, and they were severe enough that I would have to spend 24 hours in a dark room just trying to recover. But since taking Inderal, my migraines have gone down to once a month or even longer intervals. It's really changed my life for the better.

3/4/2019
Inderal for Migraine Prevention
I've been taking this since 1999 and it's by far the best migraine medication I've ever tried. I used to get migraines almost every week that would confine me to a dark room in agony, but since taking this medication I've only had them sporadically and they're much easier to live with.
