Propranolol.

Propranolol can be prescribed for people suffering from high blood pressure and conditions associated with it. It can also be used to prevent migraine headaches and improve survival after a heart attack. Depending on the kind of propranolol you were prescribed you may need to take it once or up to 4 times a day. If you are taking propranolol for high blood pressure, you may need to take it for the rest of your life. Always make sure you tell your doctor if you have any medical conditions requiring a dose adjustment before starting the treatment. The following ones will need to be reported: lung disease, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, thyroid problems, severe allergies, or heart disease. Also let your doctor know if you are taking reserpine, heart disease medications, cough and cold medicines, high blood pressure meds, vitamins, allergies medications, medications for migraine headaches, asthma meds, or painkillers, as some of those drugs can interact with the effects of propranolol and make your treatment less efficient. Talk to your health care provider right away if you get such serious side effects as unusual bleeding, unusual weight gain, slow, irregular heartbeat, swelling of the feet or hands, chest pain, or sore throat.
