Patient summary
Inderal LA is propranolol 40mg in a modified-release capsule for hypertension, angina, migraine prophylaxis and essential tremor. Both beta-1 and beta-2.
Mechanism of action
Inderal LA is a non-selective beta blocker that antagonizes both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors. By decreasing myocardial oxygen demand and normalizing cardiac rhythm, it effectively lowers blood pressure and is beneficial for migraine and tremor control.
