A member asked:
88 yr old mother confused; should inderal (propranolol) be switched to water soluble form of medication? no problems before confusion.

See doctor: If Inderal (propranolol) is causing the confusion, she needs a change in medication and not just the formulation of the same. Talk to her doctor about it.

Perhaps: If confusion started after starting propranolol, it might be worth the try to switch to alternate beta blockers to see if symptoms improve.
