Lowest dose: It's usually the lowest available does. However this medicine needs to be prescribed and should not be used other than as prescribed. You should never use another persons medicine.

A Cardiac Drug: Propranolol is a cardiac anti-arrhythmia drug meant to control or modulate cardiac arrhythmia disease. It is not a psychiatric drug. However, physicians use the drug "off label" assuming your heart beats "faster" if you are anxious-not necessarily true. Please read side effects and important black box warning.
