About Propranolol
How does it work?
Propranolol is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called beta blockers. It works by blocking the effects of certain stress hormones in the body (like adrenaline), which can increase heart rate and blood pressure. By doing so, Propranolol helps to slow down the heart rate and reduce blood pressure. This makes it an effective medication for conditions like high blood pressure, anxiety and certain heart disorders.
What does it treat?
Propranolol treats various conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure happens when the force of blood against the artery walls is too high. On top of treating high blood pressure, this hypertension treatment can also help manage anxiety symptoms, prevent migraines, and treat specific heart problems.
What forms does it come in?
This hypertension medicine is available in tablets, capsules and extended-release capsules. These allow for different dosing options depending on the condition and the medical provider’s recommendations.
Propranolol vs. Inderal
Inderal is a brand-name version of Propranolol—the generic form of the same medication. These medications contain the same active ingredient, Propranolol. They treat conditions like high blood pressure, anxiety and certain heart disorders in the same way.
The brand drug Inderal is not currently available on the Dr. B platform.
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 40 mg (60 tablets) start at $4.42.

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?
If you miss a dose of Propranolol, take it as soon as you remember. But if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed. Continue with your next regular dose, and don’t take extra medication to make up for what you missed.
What happens if I take too much?
Taking too much Propranolol may cause a very slow heart rate, fainting, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or severe dizziness.
If you think you’ve taken too much, immediately call your healthcare provider or local poison control center (800-222-1222).
