Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Why propranolol? By UPTODATE: "propranolol and other nonselective beta blockers are also generally avoided. They may promote uterine irritability since myometrial relaxation of the gravid uterus is a beta-2-adrenergic receptor-mediated process (beta-adrenergic receptor agonists are used for tocolysis)."
