Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Inderal LA (Propranolol LA) is a beta-blocker used to treat certain cardiovascular problems. It works by blocking specific signals in the body that can make your heart beat faster or harder, which helps to lower blood pressure and slow down the heart rate. Inderal LA is made to release its effect slowly, so you only need to take it once a day. Doctors use Inderal LA to help people with high blood pressure, chest pain, migraines, and some irregular heartbeats.

Stopping Inderal LA suddenly can be dangerous, especially for people with heart problems. It may cause chest pain or even a heart attack. If you need to stop taking this medication, your doctor will likely lower your dose gradually over time.
Inderal LA can worsen breathing problems like asthma or chronic bronchitis and may trigger wheezing or shortness of breath. It can also lower your heart rate too much or cause heart failure in some people, especially those with existing heart conditions.
This medicine can hide the warning signs of low blood sugar, like a fast heartbeat, especially in people with diabetes or those who are fasting or sick. Talk to your doctor if you’re prone to low blood sugar or are managing diabetes.
Inderal LA can interact with many medications, including those for heart rhythm, blood pressure, depression, and anesthesia. Combining Inderal LA with alcohol may also increase the drug’s effects. Always tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements you’re taking.
Inderal LA may affect your baby if taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. It may cause low heart rate, low blood sugar, or breathing problems in newborns.
This medicine may worsen symptoms in people with thyroid problems, liver or kidney disease, or certain heart rhythm conditions. It may also affect results on eye pressure tests or make your body more sensitive to allergic reactions.
The most common side effects of Inderal LA may include tiredness, dizziness, nausea, and abdominal discomfort. Some people may also experience constipation, vivid dreams, or sleep disturbances. Fatigue, weakness, or feelings of depression have also been reported, especially at higher doses. These effects are usually manageable, but speak to your doctor if they bother you.
More serious side effects are rare but may include very slow heart rate, low blood pressure, or worsening heart failure. Some people have reported breathing problems like bronchospasm, especially those with asthma, as well as allergic reactions such as rash or swelling. Other rare effects include changes in blood counts, skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, and sexual side effects such as impotence. Contact your doctor right away if you notice any serious or unusual symptoms.
