The typical starting dose of Inderal (propranolol) varies greatly depending on the condition being treated. For hypertension, a common initial dose is 10-40 mg twice daily. This can be gradually increased as needed, under your doctor’s supervision. For angina, the starting dose may be 10-20 mg three or four times a day. Again, adjustments depend on individual response. Remember, your doctor will tailor the dosage to your specific needs and health status.
Migraine prevention often begins with lower doses, such as 40 mg daily, gradually increasing to 160-240 mg daily, divided into two or four doses. Treatment for performance anxiety may use a smaller dose, perhaps 10-20 mg, one to two hours before the event. This information serves as a general guideline only.
Important Note: Dosage adjustments are frequent, so consistent monitoring is critical. Never adjust your Inderal dosage without consulting your physician. Side effects like fatigue, dizziness, or nausea can occur. Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor immediately. These are general guidelines, and individualized treatment plans are always best.
