A member asked:
Is weaning off of low dose methyldopa going to be a similar procedure to weaning off of propranolol? rebound symptoms? gradual? thank you!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Somewhat Similar: Since methyldopa is often given in more than one dose daily, it is important to gradually wean off it as abrupt discontinuation of it could lead to significant rebound in blood pressure. One difference with abrupt withdrawal of beta blocker is that heart rate as well as blood pressure can shoot upwards.
