Question: Can I take three/four tablets of "Propranolol" at once?
Hi everyone,
recently my doctor has prescribed me Propranolol, three or four tablets a day but can I take them all at once or there has to be time distance between one and the other?
thank you

Answers:

No, definitely do not take all at once! I assume you are taking it for anxiety, so you can take one as needed . You may be able to take one every 4 or six hours if necessary, call the pharmacist where you got it filled for the specific instructions. I can't believe your Dr didn't give you better instructions,whew!



Depends on what the doctor prescribed for you. If it says, for example, 2 tabs every 12 hours, then you do that. Since this medication controls high blood pressure, it needs to be spaced out through the day. Don't just take them all at once, your pressure will drop and you'll probably go into shock. So take exactly as directed.



I would NOT do that and ONLY take them as directed to help prevent overdose or dangerous side effects. Please ask your pharmacist. (Cvs is usually open 24 hours a day.)
