Propranolol is an adrenergic B-blocker ...it is used in cardiology more often to reduce the palpitations and the fast heart beat.Propranolol's use in medicine has a wide range of use as an adrenergic B-blocker...it's even used as antithyroid medication on people with hyperthyroidism or situations (multinodular toxic goiters etc)which have a connection to hyperthyroidism.
It's usually the first medication aproved for relieving all the hyper symptoms.

In your case...as you're posting on the panic dissorders forum i guess propranolol is for your heart palpitations ...fast heart beat/rate...or high blood pressure...

Generally drugs like propranolol have a sedativelike effect on the body.
