About Inderal LA (Propranolol ER S.R.)
How does it work?
Inderal LA works by blocking specific receptors in the heart and blood vessels. This action slows down the heart rate and reduces the force of its contractions, which helps to lower blood pressure and decrease the heart's workload, making it easier for the heart to pump blood efficiently.
What does it treat?
Inderal LA is primarily used to treat conditions like high blood pressure (hypertension), which occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls is too high. It can also be prescribed to manage certain heart rhythm problems and prevent migraines.
What forms does it come in?
Inderal LA comes in the form of extended-release capsules you take by mouth. These capsules are designed to release the medication slowly over time, allowing for once-a-day dosing to help control conditions like high blood pressure or prevent migraines over the long term.
Inderal LA vs. Propranolol ER S.R.
Both medications contain the active ingredient Propranolol and treat conditions like high blood pressure and migraines in the same way. Inderal LA and Propranolol ER S.R. are different brand names and may come in slightly different formulations.
How much will it cost?
Dr. B offers online consultations for $15—which is less than most copays. If a high blood pressure prescription is appropriate, your out-of-pocket medication cost will depend on your insurance and where you decide to get your prescription filled. With a drug discount card, prices for Propranolol ER 24 hr 80 mg (30 capsules) start at $4.51.

How do you take this medication?
You take Inderal LA by mouth with or without food, usually once a day, following your health provider’s dosing instructions. The medication is designed for extended release and works best when you take it at the same time each day.
High blood pressure is a long-term (chronic) condition that can harm your organs. Medications for blood pressure are not a one-time cure. This medicine doesn't provide a complete cure for high blood pressure, so it's important to continue taking it, even if you start feeling better. If you stop taking it suddenly, this could cause dangerous problems, like heart attack or stroke. Follow your medical provider's instructions carefully.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember—unless it's almost time for your next dose. If that’s the case, wait and take your next scheduled dose. Don't take extra medicine to make up for the dose you missed.
What happens if I take too much?
Taking too much Inderal LA may cause severe dizziness, fainting, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), shallow or slow breathing or an unusually slow heartbeat.
If you experience these as severe symptoms, immediately seek emergency help. If they’re present but mild, call your licensed medical provider or local poison control center (800-222-1222).
Can I get Inderal LA (Propranolol ER S.R.) online?
