How It Works

Propranolol blocks beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart and blood vessels. This results in:

• Slower, more controlled heart rate

• Reduced heart strain and oxygen demand

• Lower blood pressure

• Less overactivity of stress hormones on the heart

---

Side Effects

• Fatigue, dizziness, or weakness

• Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset

• Cold hands and feet

• Disturbed sleep or vivid dreams

• Slow heartbeat (bradycardia)

• Rare: breathing difficulty in asthma/COPD patients, masking of low blood sugar in diabetics

---

Precautions

• Avoid in patients with asthma, severe heart failure, or heart block

• Use carefully in diabetes, as it may hide low blood sugar warning signs

• Do not stop suddenly—taper off under medical advice

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should take only if prescribed
