Propranolol

Hi does anyone know the best time to take 80mg slow release ? With food or without?

Hi,

In the packet, there should be a 'patient information leaflet' which should give clear instructions.

However, if that isn't the case and you are unsure about anything concerning your prescription, contact the pharmacy which dispensed your medication.

Hope this will help.

I take this, and my little girl calls it Proprano......Laugh out loud.

It's kind of stuck! 😀

[Hidden in reply to Daveangel]

Lol,

Do you take morning or at night?

[Daveangel]

Both. With a coffee when I get up and last thing at night before bed.

I’m only on one a day had mine with breakfast lol

I'm on 10mg 3 times a day but nearly always forget the afternoon dose, I was given it after they found esophageal varices, if you read the leaflet it can cause hypothyroidism, lower blood pressure which I already have (apparently I'm a problem patient lol)

[Hidden in reply to missunites]

Yep that’s why I’m on it, they always say I’m a problem patient too lol

I take mine in the evening with or without food and have for years. Never a problem

[Hidden in reply to Mel2637]

Had mine at breakfast as sleep a lot in evenings so more chance of missing a dose. So far so good only been two n half hours lol

[Mel2637 in reply to Hidden]

Shouldn't cause a problem

I was told by my doctor that having food before taking propranolol was not a essential.
