Drugs that bind to but do not activate beta-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of beta-adrenergic agonists. Adrenergic beta-antagonists are used for treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, glaucoma, migraine headaches, and anxiety.
Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.
Drugs used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular HYPERTENSION regardless of pharmacological mechanism. Among the antihypertensive agents are DIURETICS; (especially DIURETICS, THIAZIDE); ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-ANTAGONISTS; ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS; CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS; GANGLIONIC BLOCKERS; and VASODILATOR AGENTS.
Drugs used to cause dilation of the blood vessels.
HistoryScottish scientist James W. Black developed propranolol in the 1960s. It was the first beta-blocker effectively used in the treatment of coronary artery disease and hypertension.Propranolol was patented in 1962 and approved for medical use in 1964. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. In 2023, it was the 69th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 9 million prescriptions.
UsesPropranolol is used for treating hypertension, angina pectoris, supraventricular arrhythmia, ventricular tachycardia, migraines, hypertrophic subaortal stenosis, and pheochromocytosis. It is used following a myocardial infraction.
UsesPropranolol has been studied most carefully in experiments and in clinics. It is used for ventricular tachycardia, arrhythmia caused by digitalis drug overdose, or as a result of thyrotoxosis or excess catecholamine activity. Despite the fact that there are a number of β-adrenoblockers, propranolol is considered the first choice of drugs although other blockers of calcium blockers can be just as effective.

UsesPropranolol is used in treating arterial hypertonicity, angina, extrasystole, superventricular arrhythmia, ventricular tachycardia, migraines, hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, and pheochromocytoma. It also is used in the postanginal phase of myocardial infarctions.
General DescriptionR(+)-PROPRANOLOL HCL(Inderal, others) is the prototypical andnonselective β-blocker. It blocks the β1- and β2-receptorswith equal affinity, lacks ISA, and does not block β-receptors. R(+)-PROPRANOLOL HCL like the other β-blockers discussed,is a competitive blocker whose receptor-blockingactions can be reversed with sufficient concentrations of β-agonists.
