Common Questions and Answers about Propranolol duration of action

Avatar f tn Since they are in the same family of drugs, you really shouldn't have any side effects. I went off propanol onto Toprol XL, both beta blockers with no issues at all. The problem may be in the dosage or even the fact it's a generic. I find the generic not to be as effective as the brand but perhaps that's just me. I suggest you call the doctor or pharmacist. You are on a very low dose. I take 50mg of Toprol XL twice daily and that does not totally keep the SVT under control.
Avatar n tn Also, if you notice any changes in your blood pressure, pulse or other symptoms related to enhanced action of Propranolol, you can always adjust the dose to achieve the best possible outcome (again, with your psychiatrist's review). I hope that helps with the first part of your question. Sertraline can be taken any time of the day provided you take it the same time each day. Similarly, you can take Clonazepam at fixed time of the day.
Avatar m tn Thank you so much for your help - we have just read up on CVS and it does hit alot of the markers. We have finally got a course of action we might be able to look at. Your our hero.
Avatar m tn The onset of action ranges from 45 minutes - 1 ½ hours, and the duration of action is six hours. Diazepam carries a bi-phasic half-life of 20-50 hours (for Diazepam), and 30-200 hours (for Desmethyldiazepam). Valium is indicated for the long-term management of generalized anxiety and tension-anxiety. Tolerance will not develop to the anxiolytic property of Diazepam, although tolerance will develop to the sedative/hypnotic property.

Avatar m tn s rarely occur I assume), and my head twisted to right side as if my neck pull it involuntarily(frequently). Till now the duration of the pain last for minimum 15mins and the max for severe pain is about 2Hours(not really accurate as I couldn't calculate the time but manage to look at my watch sometimes). To be honest, even the Naproxen ain't helping much I would say.
967168 tn?1477584489 Inderal is a beta blocker. I'm using Inderal too (or Pranolol as the brand name is in Norway) - it's the same drug, Propranolol. To answer your question; Half-time of propranolol is 4,5 hours. But it's often prescribed as capsules that release propranolol through 24 hours, in that case it lasts a bit longer ;) Inderal is often used for "non-cardiac" problems such as tremors, anxiety, migraines and hyperthyreoids (symptomatic).
Avatar m tn A partial µ-opioid receptor agonist, its mixed agonist/antagonist activity affords it a lower risk of dependence and abuse than full µ agonists like morphine. Meptazinol exhibits not only a short onset of action, but also a shorter duration of action relative to other opioids such as morphine, pentazocine, or buprenorphine.
Avatar m tn about 2 weeks ago i had a sexual intercourse with a call girl.after 5 minutes of action,i decided to change style,when i wanted to start action again,just after i wanted to enter my penis in her vagina i heard the condom broke and i immediately extracted my penis and stopped the action.my penis was in her vagina for about 3 or 4 seconds after the condom broke and i stopped further contact immediately after that.
Avatar n tn a physician could give you a more detailed course of action depending on your situation as this varies by the individual. keeping yourself busy now and in the next several days may also be helpful.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the reply, But my concern is that duration of the actual play, that is intercourse. We do foreplay and cuddle and everything but when time comes to actuall intercourse, i am able to make 9 to 10 strokes and i am done. is it normal or it is very less. my wife conitnues with the motion and i just support her with my flacid pennis. is it normal, is it common in normal sexual experiace. Please share your experiance which would be verey helpfull for me to take further action.
Avatar m tn Since you had headaches on sudden stopping of alprazolam and propranolol, you could be having migraines. inderal is one of the drugs prescribed for preventing an attack. Anti anxiety drugs like alprax also cause low mood and lack of sleep. Consult your physician before restarting the medicines whether you need to continue. Try to take up a sports or outdoor activity and join a social group for mood elevation. Eat a well-balanced and healthy diet at regular intervals with regular exercise.
Avatar f tn Hello and welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question. It is always wise when you have an issue that you feel or wonder if it might be heart related to visit your doctor to be examined and discuss. That's the prudent course of action to take. However, heart fluttery feelings are typically medically called palpitations. They are fairly common. They have triggers and it usually is something like stress. Are you under a bit of stress? You also mention Inderal which is a beta blocker.
Avatar f tn I still do get headaches, but they are less frequent and of a markedly lower intensity when I do get them. Instead of 4-5 headaches a week, half of which are of medium intensity, I get about 2 headaches a week which are low intensity. In other words, I can stand it even if the OTC pain reliever doesn't do much. I'm still at a modest dose and can't go up any further.
Avatar f tn I've been taking Propranolol for high blood pressure and tachycardia(10mg at 8am, 2pm, and 8pm) for about 18 days now, and four days ago I woke up feeling quite dizzy. Since then it seemed to get better, but now I feel lethargic, dizzy, and generally unwell. Is it my drug? Note: I'm a 15-year-old male.
4155003 tn?1351614311 It's always better to taper under the guidance of a physician. 12 weeks isn't very long, but it's still better to do it the right way, to avoid issues like rebound hypertension, which can occur coming off a beta blocker. My advice to you is get in front of your doc, explain where you're at, and see what he/she says. Very possibly, you may be told just to stop taking them completely at this point.
