Propranolol is a beta-blocker used to treat cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, arrhythmias, and angina. It helps control these symptoms by slowing the heartbeat and lowering blood pressure. In Hong Kong, propranolol is usually used as a prescription drug and requires the guidance and supervision of a doctor. Patients with cardiovascular disease should strictly follow their doctor's recommendations when taking propranolol and have regular follow-up visits. Possible side effects include fatigue, dizziness, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc. If serious adverse reactions occur, you should seek medical attention immediately. At the same time, avoid using it with alcohol and certain drugs to avoid adverse effects. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your doctor.
How to use: Follow your doctor or pharmacist's directions for using this medication. It is generally recommended to take it 2 to 4 times daily, with or without food. Avoid taking it with antacids containing aluminum, magnesium, or calcium, as these may affect their effectiveness. During use, avoid stopping the medication suddenly and gradually reduce the dose as recommended by your doctor.
Dosing Guidelines: For adults with high blood pressure or heart problems, the initial dose is usually 20 to 40 mg two to three times daily.
