This medication is a beta-blocking agent that attaches itself to the heart and inhibits the regular molecules from triggering the receptors. It blocks the beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, thus slowing your heartbeat down and lowering the blood pressure. This lowers the stress placed on your heart, arteries, veins and blood vessels, decreasing the workload of the heart.

Symptoms of intoxication include cardiac disturbances, CNS toxicity, bronchospasm, hypoglycemia and hyperkalemia. The most common cardiac symptoms include hypotension and bradycardia; atrioventricular block, intraventricular conduction disturbances, cardiogenic shock, and asystole may occur with severe overdose, especially with membrane-depressant drugs (eg, propranolol); CNS effects include convulsions, coma, and respiratory arrest is commonly seen with propranolol and other membrane-depressant and lipid-soluble drugs.

Treatment includes symptomatic treatment of seizures, hypotension, hyperkalemia and hypoglycemia; bradycardia and hypotension resistant to atropine, isoproterenol or pacing may respond to glucagon; wide QRS defects caused by the membrane-depressant poisoning may respond to hypertonic sodium bicarbonate; repeat-dose charcoal, hemoperfusion, or hemodialysis may be helpful in removal of only those beta-blockers with a small Vd, long half-life or low intrinsic clearance (acebutolol, atenolol, nadolol, sotalol).

Take exactly as directed; do not increase, decrease, or discontinue without consulting prescriber. Take at the same time each day. Tablets may be crushed and taken with liquids. Do not alter dietary intake of protein or carbohydrates without consulting prescriber.

• Interaction with Lab Test

  This medicine might cause fluctuation in serum level of thyroxine [increased level of thyroxine (S)].

• Interaction with Medicine

  • Alpha-blockers (prazosin, terazosin): Concurrent use of beta-blockers may increase risk of orthostasis.
  • Antipyrine's clearance is reduced by 30% to 40%.
  • Cimetidine increases the plasma concentration of Prop 10Mg Tablet and its pharmacodynamic effects may be increased.
  • Clonidine: Hypertensive crisis after or during withdrawal of either agent.
  • Drugs which slow AV conduction (digoxin): Effects may be additive with beta-blockers.
  • Epinephrine (including local anesthetics with epinephrine): Prop 10Mg Tablet may cause hypertension.
  • Flecainide: Pharmacological activity of both agents may be increased when used concurrently.
  • Fluoxetine may inhibit the metabolism of Prop 10Mg Tablet, resulting in cardiac toxicity.
  • Glucagon: Prop 10Mg Tablet may blunt hyperglycemic action.
  • Haloperidol: Hypotensive effects may be potentiated.
  • Hydralazine: The bioavailability propranolol (rapid release) and hydralazine may be enhanced with concurrent dosing.
  • Insulin: Prop 10Mg Tablet inhibits recovery and may cause hypertension and bradycardia following insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Also masks the tachycardia that usually accompanies insulin-induced hypoglycemia.
  • NSAIDs (ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen, piroxicam) may reduce the antihypertensive effects of beta-blockers.
  • Salicylates may reduce the antihypertensive effects of beta-blockers.
  • Sulfonylureas: Beta-blockers may alter response to hypoglycemic agents.
  • Verapamil or diltiazem may have synergistic or additive pharmacological effects when taken concurrently with beta-blockers; avoid concurrent I.V. use of both.

• Interaction with Disease

  • Administer cautiously in compensated heart failure and monitor for a worsening of the condition (efficacy of propranolol in CHF has not been demonstrated).
  • Avoid abrupt discontinuation in patients with a history of CAD; slowly wean while monitoring for signs and symptoms of ischemia.
