Propranolol - Drug Interactions / Side Effects Message Board

I have a rapid heartbeat.I've been on Inderal la for 6 yrs.Once in 2006 and once about two weeks ago my doctor gave me propranolol.I had a allergic reaction
from it, trouble breathing,chest pain and tightness and my throat was swollen.I never had problems like that while
taking Inderol,so there must be something in propranolol that isn't in Inderol.
anybody here had any problems with propranolol?

Inderal is propranolol but your doctor might have prescribed a generic version which could have different coating or binding components that might have upset you.

yes, but topgeek is most likely correct, it is why some doctors write no substitute, or why when pharmacies happen to change manufactures on certain meds, why u have to ask them to always get the med from the same company. "Inderal is propranolol, but could have different coating or binding components that might have upset you." Some pharmacies will make the change, because insurance makes the change.

Also Make sure dosages do not change, your body is use to it, less can cause you issues.

I take it and it is the generic of Inderal. My Dr. switched me from Inderal LA to Propanol because it is MUCH cheaper. I take 80 mg twice a day instead of the time released Inderal LA.
