Inderal LA Dosage: An Introduction

The dose of Inderal LA® (propranolol hydrochloride sustained-release) that your healthcare provider prescribes will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
 
  • Your age
  • The medical condition you are being treated for
  • Other medical conditions you may have
  • Other medications you may be currently taking
  • How you respond to Inderal LA.
     
As always, do not adjust your Inderal LA dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
 

Inderal LA Dosage for High Blood Pressure

The recommended starting dosage of Inderal LA for people with high blood pressure (hypertension) is 80 mg once a day. After a couple of weeks, based on the blood pressure response and/or Inderal LA side effects, the Inderal LA dosage may be increased or decreased. Your healthcare provider may also add a diuretic (a "water pill") or another blood pressure medication if your blood pressure is not controlled by Inderal LA alone.
 
The usual dose for most people is somewhere between 120 mg and 160 mg once a day.
 

Inderal LA Dosage for Angina
