Venous tos, chronic subclavian dvt. can i use propranolol safely (for anxiety symptoms) or does it reduce blood flow increasing likelyhood of dvt?

Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Possible not likely : In one study of propranolol users, 15 out of 1,309 experienced a DVT. This is 1.15% Though it is possible to experience a DVT on propranolol, it's not likely. Hope this helps. Ref: eHealthMe.com
