Propranalol: is very safe ...as long as there are no medical contraindications!! These include a slow heart rate and ASTHMA or Chronic obstructive lung disease!!! Hope this helps! Good luck with the visit! Dr Z

This would be: dangerous without a thorough assessment of your medicine, health, allergies, proclivities, tenancies and genetic predisposition, family history to determine whether its the right med for you. Talk to a psychiatrist or general family practitioner first b4 taking the med. thanks for checking in with us.
