Inderal LA Information

Propranolol LA at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Inderal was originally developed by ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) and later marketed by Wyeth-Ayerst, and has been distributed in North America under various entities, including Wyeth, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca. The brand-name Inderal LA is not currently available at this pharmacy.

Generic propranolol is also available and is produced by several reputable pharmaceutical companies that meet the rigorous standards of Health Canada and the FDA. Generic propranolol is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary based on current pharmacy stock.

Important Information about Generic Propranolol LA:

Generic propranolol hydrochloride long-acting capsules contain the same active ingredient as brand-name Inderal LA. They must meet the same effectiveness and quality standards. Studies have shown that generic propranolol LA is bioequivalent to brand-name Inderal LA, meaning it has similar absorption and achieves comparable plasma concentrations. However, individual responses to medication can vary due to factors such as metabolism, genetics, and other health conditions.

Dosage:

Generic Propranolol LA is available in the following oral strengths and forms at this pharmacy:
• Capsules: 80 mg, 120 mg, and 160 mg long-acting capsules

Propranolol LA (Long-Acting) capsules are designed for maintenance therapy to manage chronic heart and blood pressure conditions. They are formulated to be taken just once a day, with a typical daily dose ranging anywhere from 60 mg to 320 mg.

Usage:

Inderal LA (propranolol hydrochloride long-acting capsules) is indicated for maintenance therapy in the treatment of hypertension and for prophylaxis of angina pectoris in adults. Because it releases the medication steadily over 24 hours, it offers the convenience of once-daily dosing for managing chronic conditions. Propranolol LA is a preventative, daily maintenance medication. It is not designed for the emergency treatment of sudden, severe blood pressure crises. To help you reach your target blood pressure, your doctor may safely pair Propranolol LA with other medications, such as "water pills" (thiazide-like diuretics) or drugs that relax blood vessels (peripheral vasodilators).

Mechanism of Action
Propranolol is a competitive, non-selective antagonist of the beta-adrenergic (beta-1 and beta-2) receptors. It works by blocking your body's stress hormones, adrenaline and noradrenaline, from binding to their designated cellular docking sites, known as beta receptors. Unlike newer "selective" beta-blockers that only target the heart, propranolol is non-selective. This means it blocks two distinct receptor types throughout the body. It is also highly lipophilic (fat-soluble), readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, and effectively treats conditions rooted in the nervous system.

Take Propranolol LA exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the product monograph. Swallow capsules whole. Do not chew. Take once daily at the same time each day. Do not stop using this medication suddenly, even if you feel completely healthy or that the drug is no longer needed. Stopping this medication can lead to worsening chest pain, heart attack, and dangerous heart rhythms. If you need to stop this medicine, your doctor will gradually reduce your dose over at least 2 weeks.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before starting Propranolol LA, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects of Propranolol LA (propranolol hydrochloride). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects: These are common side effects of Propranolol LA; other side effects are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Cold extremities (cold hands and feet)
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Decreased libido or sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction in males)
• Depression or mood changes
• Dizziness or light-headedness, particularly when standing up quickly (orthostatic hypotension)
• Fatigue or weakness (the most commonly reported side effect)
• Gastrointestinal disturbances: nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, or loss of appetite
• Headache
• Sleep disturbances: insomnia, vivid or disturbing dreams, nightmares (due to CNS penetration)
• Slow heart rate
• Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet

Serious Side Effects: Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following symptoms:
• Bronchospasm: Sudden onset or worsening of wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness.
• Cardiac failure: Worsening breathlessness, swelling of the ankles or legs, or sudden weight gain.
• Heart block or severe bradycardia: Extremely slow pulse, dizziness, fainting, or loss of consciousness.
• Hypoglycemia masking: Propranolol can mask the warning signs (especially tachycardia) of hypoglycemia.
• Hypotension: A significant drop in blood pressure causing severe dizziness, fainting, or collapse.
• Peripheral arterial ischemia: Severe worsening of circulation in the limbs (cold, painful, or blue fingers or toes).
• Severe allergic reactions (Anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reactions): Hives, rash, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing.
• Severe skin reactions: Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, or exfoliative dermatitis (widespread red, blistering, or peeling skin).

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Propranolol LA, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not take Propranolol LA/propranolol hydrochloride if:
• Allergies: You have a known hypersensitivity to propranolol hydrochloride or any ingredient in the capsule formulation.
• Bradycardia or sinus bradycardia: A resting heart rate that is already slow.
• Bronchial asthma or bronchospasm (including a history of either): Propranolol LA is absolutely contraindicated in patients with asthma or any history of bronchospasm.
• Cardiogenic shock.
• Congestive heart failure, greater than first-degree atrioventricular block.
• Hypotension.
• Metabolic acidosis.
• Patients prone to hypoglycemia
• Prinzmetal's angina (variant angina pectoris)
• Right ventricular failure secondary to pulmonary hypertension.
• Severe peripheral arterial circulatory disturbance.
• Sick sinus syndrome.
• Uncontrolled heart failure.
• Untreated pheochromocytoma

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Propranolol LA. This is crucial as certain conditions require extra monitoring or special precautions.
• Chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or other non-allergic respiratory disease
• Diabetes mellitus or a tendency to hypoglycemia
• First-degree AV block
• Hepatic impairment or decompensated cirrhosis
• Hyperthyroidism/thyrotoxicosis
• Myasthenia gravis
• Peripheral arterial disease (e.g., Raynaud's phenomenon)
• Psoriasis
• Renal impairment
• Surgery under general anesthesia
• Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Propranolol LA, discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete, up-to-date information, please refer to the product monograph at https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00035046.PDF.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, herbal supplements, recreational drugs, and any significant dietary changes, as these may interact with Propranolol LA. Propranolol LA may interact with other medicines, including but not limited to:
• Alcohol: Propranolol levels may be reduced by regular alcohol use, reducing its antihypertensive effect. Alcohol also independently lowers blood pressure and may cause additive hypotension.
• Calcium channel blockers — verapamil and diltiazem: The combination can cause severe bradycardia, heart block, and cardiac failure.
• CYP1A2 inhibitors (e.g., ciprofloxacin, fluvoxamine, isoniazid, theophylline, zileuton, zolmitriptan, rizatriptan): These drugs reduce the metabolism of propranolol, increasing propranolol concentrations and the risk of side effects.
• Digoxin: Additive slowing of AV conduction and heart rate when combined with propranolol. The risk of significant bradycardia and heart block is increased.
• Enzyme inducers (rifampicin, phenytoin, phenobarbital, alcohol): These drugs accelerate the metabolism of propranolol, reducing propranolol's effectiveness.
• Other antihypertensives: Additive blood-pressure-lowering effects may require dosage adjustment.
• Theophylline: Propranolol increases the concentration of theophylline in the blood. Additionally, propranolol can cause bronchospasm, which is directly opposed by theophylline's bronchodilatory effect. This combination should generally be avoided.
• Thyroid medications: Beta-blockers can mask certain hyperthyroid symptoms (like a racing heart). Additionally, your body’s metabolism of propranolol shifts depending on your thyroid hormone levels. Your doctor will closely monitor your blood pressure and heart rate.
• Warfarin and anticoagulants: Propranolol may increase the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are currently breastfeeding, it is essential to discuss the risks and benefits of Propranolol LA with your doctor, as this medication can impact a developing baby. The safety and effectiveness of Propranolol LA during pregnancy have not been fully established. Because the drug crosses into the placenta, it can cause fetal harm if taken while pregnant. Medical reports show that infants born to mothers who took propranolol close to their delivery date face an increased risk of several complications immediately after birth, including hypoglycemia, breathing difficulties, and an abnormally slow heart rate. Propranolol LA should only be prescribed during pregnancy if your doctor determines that your medical need clearly outweighs the potential risks to your unborn baby. Propranolol is excreted directly into human breast milk. Because the drug can pass to a nursing infant, breastfeeding is not recommended while you are taking Propranolol LA.

Use in Children:

The safety and effectiveness of propranolol LA in children have not been established. Children below 18 years of age should not use this drug.
