A member asked:
What is difference between short acting and long acting propranolol? doc gave me short acting for anxiety, will it still lower blood pressure ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The short: acting is required to be taking more than once a day because of its elimination time. The long acting is released slowly hence last longer in your blood and requires single dosing. Both will lower your BP and heart rate
