Tachy/Anxiety

[Tingley271]

Is it safe to take an extra propanolol when going through a period of night Tach episodes?

depends on your tablet strength, but 10 to 80 mg as a single dose is the usual range. So if you have 10 or 40 mg tablets it's reasonable to double the dose, but you should really get your doctors agreement.

Thank you Goldfish.

just goingto be away from home for a few nights and thought this might be the easiest solution.

Kind regards

Sounds reasonable but taking too much propranolol may slow your heart too much, lower your blood pressure and thus make you dizzy or liable to faint, so best increase by small amounts at a time

We advise that you never alter your medication dosage without first consulting your doctor. If you cannot get an appointment before you go away, we would suggest that you call for a phone appointment.
