A member asked:
I am prescribed 1 40mg propranolol twice a day for anxiety, so it is ok to take one at about 8am and then the other at about 6pm?

Yes, if so prescribe: If that's how your doctor has prescribed it, then that's how you should take it. Propranolol can be given up to 4 times per day. If you are having trouble with the medication, talk to your prescribing doctor about decreasing the dose & increasing frequency. Side effects like lightheadedness, low BP, & others usually go away with time, but if you have concerns, relay them to the prescribing doctor.

Yes, dosage is fine: When meds are prescribed twice per day, usual dose is one in AM and one in evening. Unless your doctor has specific instructions ( such as one with breakfast, or one upon awakening and one at bedtime) the times you suggest are OK. Try to take them around the same time each day, that way you are less likely to forget dose. If you have more questions, check with your prescribing doctor. Good luck
