About Inderal

Drug Uses

Inderal is mainly used for the treatment of hypertension. But it may also be used for the treatment of angina pectoris which is chest pain, usually caused by lack of oxygen to the heart due to clogged arteries. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Usage

Inderal is best when taken before meals. However, you may take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You should continue to take it even if your symptoms have disappeared.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Inderal then take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is within 8 hours of your next scheduled dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. But never ever take 2 doses at the same time.

Storage

Store Inderal at room temperature away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep it out of the reach of children.

Inderal Precautions:

Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it. Check with your doctor before drinking alcohol while you are taking Inderal. Patients who take medicine for high blood pressure often feel tired or run down for a few weeks after starting treatment. Be sure to take your medicine even if you may not feel normal. Tell your doctor if you develop any new symptoms. Inderal may mask the signs of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). If you have an overactive thyroid and stop taking Inderal too suddenly, symptoms of hyperthyroidism (eg, fast heartbeat) may occur.
