Pharmacology
Propranolol, the prototype of the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists, is a competitive, nonselective beta-blocker similar to nadolol without intrinsic sympathomimetic activity. Propanolol is a racemic compound; the l-isomer is responsible for adrenergic blocking activity.
Mechanism Of Action
Like atenolol and metoprolol, propranolol competes with sympathomimetic neurotransmitters such as catecholamines for binding at beta(1)-adrenergic receptors in the heart and vascular smooth muscle, inhibiting sympathetic stimulation. This results in a reduction in resting heart rate, cardiac output, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and reflex orthostatic hypotension. Higher doses of atenolol also competitively block beta(2)-adrenergic responses in the bronchial and vascular smooth muscles.

Absorption
Propranolol is almost completely absorbed from the GI tract; however, plasma concentrations attained are quite variable among individuals
Interactions
Interactions for Propranolol:
Patients receiving catecholamine-depleting drugs such as reserpine should be closely observed if Propranolol HCl
is administered. The added catecholamine-blocking action may produce an excessive reduction of resting sympathetic
nervous activity, which may result in hypotension, marked bradycardia, vertigo, syncopal attacks, or orthostatic
hypotension.
Caution should be exercised when patients receiving a beta blocker are administered a calcium-channel blocking
drug, especially intravenous verapamil, for both agents may depress myocardial contractility or atrioventricular
conduction. On rare occasions, the concomitant intravenous use of a beta blocker and verapamil has resulted in
serious adverse reactions, especially in patients with severe cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, or recent
myocardial infarction.
Blunting of the antihypertensive effect of beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs has been reported.
Hypotension and cardiac arrest have been reported with the concomitant use of propranolol and haloperidol.
Aluminum hydroxide gel: Greatly reduces intestinal absorption of propranolol.
Ethanol: Slows the rate of absorption of propranolol.
Phenytoin, phenobarbitone: and rifampin accelerate propranolol clearance.
Chlorpromazine: When used concomitantly with propranolol, results in increased plasma levels of both
drugs.
Antipyrine: and lidocaine have reduced clearance when used concomitantly with
propranolol.
Thyroxine: May result in a lower than expected T3 concentration when used concomitantly
with propranolol.
Cimetidine Decreases the hepatic metabolism of propranolol, delaying elimination and incre:asing
blood levels.
Theophylline: Clearance is reduced when used concomitantly with propranolol.
