Inderal

Inderal is taken orally, typically two or four times per day or as directed by your doctor. The dosage you take depends on your specific condition and needs, so make sure you don't take a dosage that's smaller or larger than what was prescribed. Trust our Nurx doctors to get you the dosage you need for your particular condition.

Whether you want to take this medication with or without food is totally up to you! Just make sure you're consistent and take it the same way every time. If you're taking an extended-release capsule, swallow it whole without crushing or opening it.

Inderal prevents some of your body's natural chemicals from affecting your heart and blood vessels. When it does this, it can effectively lower your heart rate, blood pressure, and heart strains.

Since it's used for a variety of issues, the dosage you receive will vary. Make sure to store Inderal in a sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.

At Nurx we're committed to providing you with the medication you need. Since all brands of this medication have been discontinued, you can only get the generic, Propranolol. This medication is only available with a prescription from your doctor. Luckily, it's covered by most Medicare and insurance plans. If you don't have insurance, don't worry! We're here to help you find an affordable option that your budget allows.

As with any medication, it's important to take precautions before starting Inderal. Since Inderal may contain inactive ingredients, it can cause any number of allergic reactions. Notify your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:

Congestive heart failure.

Depression.

Liver or kidney disease.

Thyroid disorder.

Breathing disorders like asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema.

Muscle disorder.

Low blood sugar.

Diabetes.

Low blood pressure.

Slow heartbeats.

Pheochromocytoma.

Circulation issues.

You should also notify your doctor regarding any of the following situations:

If you're pregnant or plan to conceive while using Inderal: This is because the effect this medication can have on an unborn baby is currently unknown.

If you're breastfeeding: Propranolol can pass into breast milk and potentially harm a nursing baby, so make sure to let your doctor know ahead of time to prevent this from occurring.

If you plan on having surgery. Notify your surgeon ahead of time if you're taking Inderal as they may want to wait until you've finished your course of medication before putting you under anesthesia.

If you're allergic to propranolol: Since this is the generic of Inderal and the active ingredient of this medication, your doctor needs to know if you have any allergies to this drug.

If you've had a serious reaction to other beta blockers: If you've had an unfavorable reaction to beta blockers like metoprolol in the past, it's important to notify your doctor so they can determine the next course of action or find a new medication for you.

If you have upcoming medical tests: Notify your doctor if you're taking Inderal before undergoing medical tests as it can skew the results.

As for other precautions, make sure to take your blood pressure regularly while on Inderal. You should also be consistent and seek guidance from your doctor about tapering off of the medication. If you stop taking it all of a sudden, it can make your condition worse. In addition, if you're using Inderal to treat high blood pressure, continue taking the medication even after you feel better.

As with many medications, though it's unlikely, you may have an adverse reaction to Inderal. If you have any of the following symptoms, seek emergency medical attention immediately:

Despite the seriousness of these side effects, remember that they're quite uncommon.

Since this isn't a complete list of side effects, make sure to contact your doctor for other symptoms you might experience when taking Inderal.

Though Inderal isn't known to have adverse reactions with other medications, let your doctor know what else you're taking. This includes any medications you've started or taken while using Inderal. You should particularly notify your doctor if you're taking any of the following:

Blood thinners.

Antidepressants.

Drugs to treat high blood pressure.
