Propranolol is a type of medicine called a beta-blocker that is used to treat a variety of conditions. Here are some of the ways propranolol can be used:

• Heart problems: Propranolol can be used to treat high blood pressure, conditions that cause an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), chest pain caused by angina, and to help prevent future heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.

• Anxiety: Propranolol can help with the physical signs of anxiety, like sweating and shaking.

• Migraines: Propranolol can be used to prevent migraine headaches.

• Tremors: Propranolol can be used to treat certain types of tremors.

• Hypertrophic subaortic stenosis: Propranolol can be used to treat hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, which is a heart muscle disease.

• Pheochromocytoma: Propranolol can be used to treat pheochromocytoma, which is a tumor on a small gland near the kidneys.

Propranolol works by affecting the response to nerve impulses in certain parts of the body, like the heart. As a result, the heart beats slower and blood vessels relax, which improves blood flow and decreases blood pressure. It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medicines, including herbal medicines, vitamins, or supplements, as they may interact with propranolol. Additionally, propranolol may cause side effects, and it is important to talk to your doctor if you experience any symptoms.
