A member asked:

What do beta-blockers (propranolol) do? do you need to wean off of 10mg twice daily? rxd due to thyroid overmed. timeframe i could poss. wean off?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Propranolol: Always discuss these questions with the doc caring for you. Sometimes you can just stop 10 mg twice a day. Your status will dictate if you should be off the drug and if so how to do that.
