A member asked:

Accidentally chewed a propranolol rather than swallowing whole. will this do any harm?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not that I can think of. I assume the contents of the pill were eventually fully swallowed. If so there is no decreased dose and things should be normal.

This will not do any harm, however, try to avoid this in the future.
