A member asked:

What ate the dangers of consuming some alcohol while on propranolol 40 mg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alcohol: Combining too much alcohol with any medicine can be harmful. Combining it with Propranolol can affect the absorption of it and can affect heart rate, or cause headaches.
