Propranolol, a beta-blocker commonly used to treat high blood pressure, anxiety, and certain heart conditions, can have various side effects. They can range from mild to severe. Below are the common, less common, and serious side effects:
Common Side Effects:
Fatigue or tiredness
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Cold hands or feet
Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
Nausea or upset stomach
Diarrhea
Sleep disturbances (insomnia, vivid dreams)
Shortness of breath (especially with exertion)
Less Common Side Effects:

Hair loss
Weight gain
Decreased libido or sexual dysfunction
Depression or mood changes
Memory loss or confusion
Serious Side Effects (Seek Medical Help):
Severe shortness of breath (worsening asthma or COPD symptoms)
Swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, or legs
Fainting or severe dizziness
Very slow heart rate or heart palpitations
Signs of an allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing
Wheezing or tightness in the chest
Hypotension (very low blood pressure)
Unusual bruising or bleeding
Long-Term Side Effects:
Fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance may persist.
Worsening of pre-existing depression or mood disorders.
Cold extremities (due to reduced blood circulation).
Special Considerations:
Diabetics: Propranolol can mask symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) like rapid heartbeat.
Asthma or respiratory issues: It can cause bronchoconstriction, making breathing difficult.
Withdrawal: Abrupt discontinuation may cause rebound effects such as increased heart rate, anxiety, or hypertension.
Always consult a healthcare provider if any side effects are persistent or severe.

Propranolol is a medication of the beta blocker class. It is used to treat high blood pressure or hypertension, a number of types of irregular heart rate, thyrotoxicosis, capillary hemangiomas, performance anxiety and essential tremors, as well to prevent migraine headaches and to prevent further heart problems in those with angina or previous heart attacks. It can be taken by mouth or by injection.
Common side effects include nausea, abdominal pain and constipation. It may worsen the symptoms of asthma. Propranolol may cause harmful effects during pregnancy. It is a non-selective beta blocker which works by blocking β-adrenergic receptors.
So, it is requested that please subscribe my YouTube channel @DoctorPharmacology for more related videos and watch videos to encourage. Thanks so much for your cooperation and support.

Generic name: Propranolol.
Brand names: Propranolol.
Available as a tablet, delayed release capsule and as a drink.
How to use it?
- Tablet: Just swallow it with half a glass of water.
- Capsule: make sure to swallow it whole with water. Don’t chew on the capsule and don’t break it, as this could decrease its effectivity.
- Drink: measure the precise amount you need to take with measuring cup. Take this amount. Afterwards rinse the cup with some water and drink this water as well.
When to use it?
Propranolol is part of a group of drugs called beta blockers. These reduce the workload on your heart and widen your blood vessels, causing your heart to beat slower and with less force. Therefore Propranolol can be used to treat; a high blood pressure; several types of heart problems (like arrhytmias and angina pectoris), thyroid problems, migraine, tremor and anxiety.
What is the correct dosage?
The precise dose will depend on your specific indication of use, the side effect you might experience and the severity of your symptoms. Therefore always use the precise amount and frequency your doctor prescribed you.
- However, when treating a high blood pressure in adults, most doctors will start with an initial dose of 40mg 2-3x/day (when taking tablets) or 80mg 1x per/day (when taking capsules). Which if necessary can be slowly increased up to a max. dose of 320 mg/day.
What are the side-effects?
- Common (1-10%): slow heart rate, shortness of breath, nightmares, cold hands/feet and fatigue.
- Uncommon (0.1-1%): diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting.
- Rare (0.01-0.1%): changes in your blood values, worsening of heart failure, low blood pressure, hallucinations, fainting, psychoses, mood swings, confusion, amnesia, dizziness, visual disturbances, dry eyes and skin rash.
- Very rare (0.01%): aggravation of myasthenia gravis, myasthenia gravis-like syndrome, alteration in fat metabolism and low blood sugar.
Safety:
- The first days of using propranolol it can lead to dizziness or fatigue. Please do not drive while experiencing this.
- Furthermore, alcohol widens the blood vessels. It can therefore increase the side effect of dizziness at the beginning of treatment. Try drinking alcohol in moderation first so you can estimate its effects.
- In addition smoking speeds up the breakdown of this drug. If you stop smoking, the amount of this drug in the blood may increase. This can make it stronger or cause side effects.
- Propranolol can also have interactions with other drugs your are taking. Always discuss this with your prescribing doctor.
- Lastly, propranolol could be dangerous for pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding. Therefore always discuss this with your personal doctor.

Propranolol - Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interactions
What is Propranolol Used for?
Propranolol is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as non-selective beta blockers. It is commonly prescribed to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from hypertension (high blood pressure) to anxiety disorders, migraine headaches and certain heart rhythm disorders. In this video, we will explore the uses, mechanism of action, dosage, and potential side effects of propranolol, as well as its interactions with other medications.
Brand names:
Hemangeol (Hemangiol), Inderal and Innopran.
What are the Uses of Propranolol?
• Treating Hypertension
• Managing Anxiety and Panic Disorders
• Preventing Migraine Headaches
• Controlling Heart Rhythm Disorders
• Familial or hereditary essential tremor
• Hyperthyroidism with autonomic symptoms
• Relieve symptoms of angina
• Survival after a heart attack
What is the Mechanism of Action of Propranolol?
Propranolol exerts its pharmacological effects through its beta-blocking activity. It competes with adrenaline and noradrenaline for binding to beta-adrenergic receptors, which are present in various tissues, including the heart, blood vessels, and lungs. Additionally, propranolol has membrane-stabilizing properties that contribute to its anti-arrhythmic effects. It inhibits the movement of ions across cell membranes, which helps regulate abnormal electrical activity in the heart. It also decreases the heart rate and force of contraction.
What are the most Common Side Effects of Propranolol?
• Fatigue and Drowsiness
• Gastrointestinal Issues
• Cold Hands and Feet
• Sexual Dysfunction
Serious Side Effects of Propranolol:
• Bradycardia and Heart Block
• Asthma and Respiratory Issues
• Hypoglycemia in Diabetic Patients
This video will be helpful if you have the following question:
• Can propranolol be used for performance anxiety? Yes, propranolol is commonly used to manage performance anxiety.
• Is propranolol safe during pregnancy? The safety of propranolol during pregnancy is still under debate. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional
• Can propranolol be stopped abruptly? No, propranolol should not be stopped abruptly. Sudden discontinuation can lead to rebound effects and potentially worsen the condition being treated.
• Can propranolol cause weight gain? Weight gain is not a commonly reported side effect of propranolol.
• Can propranolol be used for stage fright? Yes, propranolol is often prescribed to manage stage fright and performance anxiety.
