Inderal is classified as a beta-blocker. These medications influence the heart and blood circulation (the flow of blood through arteries and veins). Inderal is prescribed for managing tremors, angina (chest pain), hypertension (high blood pressure), heart rhythm abnormalities, and other cardiac or vascular issues. It is also utilized to treat or avert heart attacks and to alleviate the intensity and occurrence of migraine headaches.
 
Inderal operates by blocking beta-adrenergic agents such as adrenaline (epinephrine), which plays a crucial role in the "sympathetic" aspect of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system that governs heart functions. It treats conditions including tremors, chest pain, hypertension, heart rhythm abnormalities, ischemic heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myocardiodystrophy, and other disorders.
 
Take the medication orally without regard to meals. Consume Inderal with a full glass of water consistently at the same time each day. Avoid chewing, crushing, breaking, or opening the Inderal capsule; swallow it whole. Do not abruptly discontinue the medication, as this could lead to heart issues.
 
Inderal should not be used if you have asthma or specific heart ailments, particularly second or third degree heart block, liver, or kidney failure. Limit alcohol consumption. Continue taking the medication even if you feel well, as hypertension can be asymptomatic.
 
Precautions include sinus bradycardia, incomplete or complete atrioventricular block (issues with the heart's excitation-conduction system), severe right and left ventricular failure, bronchial asthma, susceptibility to bronchospasm, pregnancy, and peripheral arterial blood flow disorders. Inderal is not recommended for patients with spastic colitis (inflammation of the colon characterized by contraction).
 
Potential side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bradycardia (slow heart rate), dizziness, allergic reactions such as itchy skin, bronchospasm (contraction of bronchial tubes), and possible depression.
 
Alcohol and aluminum can decrease the absorption of propranolol. Inderal raises blood levels of theophylline and lidocaine. Conversely, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and rifampin decrease the blood concentration of Inderal, while cimetidine and chlorpromazine increase its levels.
 
If you forget to take a dose of short-acting Inderal, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose (within four hours). In that case, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. For extended-release Inderal, take the missed dose as soon as possible, but not if there are less than eight hours until your next dose. Never take an extra dose to make up for a missed one.
