Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage. Don’t adjust your medication without consulting them. Typical starting doses range from 10mg to 40mg daily, often administered once daily.
Propranolol CR (Controlled Release) tablets release medication gradually over time, usually requiring once-daily dosing. This helps maintain a consistent blood level, reducing the chance of side effects associated with fluctuating levels. Swallow the tablet whole with water; avoid crushing or chewing.
Propranolol ER (Extended Release) tablets function similarly to CR tablets, providing sustained medication release. Adherence to the once-daily dosing schedule is critical for optimal results. Like CR tablets, do not crush or chew them.
Dosage adjustments are made gradually based on your individual response and the specific condition being treated. Your doctor will monitor your blood pressure, heart rate, and other relevant indicators to optimize your dosage. Regular check-ups are vital.
Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses.
Potential Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as interactions are possible. This prevents complications.
