Pregnancy Category

Name : C

Description

Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks

Mode of Action

Propranolol is a non-cardioselective beta-blocker that competitively blocks beta1- and beta2-receptors resulting in decreased heart rate, myocardial contractility, BP and myocardial oxygen demand. It has membrane-stabilising properties.

Interaction

May cause additive negative chronotropic and/or inotropic effect w/ amiodarone, disopyramide, quinidine, flecainide and Ca channel blockers. May cause additive hypotensive effect w/ phenothiazines. ?-adrenergic stimulating effects of sympathomimetic agents are antagonised. Concomitant admin w/ catecholamine-depleting drugs (e.g. reserpine) may cause additive effects and potentiate depression. Reduced antihypertensive effect w/ aluminium and NSAIDs. Coadministration w/ warfarin increases its bioavailability and prothrombin time. Altered antidiabetic response when used w/ antidiabetic agents and insulin. Increased risk of hypotension and attenuation of the reflex tachycardia w/ anaesth drugs. Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of QT interval prolongation and torsades de pointes w/ thioridazine.

Pregnancy Category Note

Pregnancy category: C; intrauterine growth retardation, small placentas, and congenital abnormalities reported, but no adequate and well-controlled studies conducted Lactation: Use is controversial; an insignificant amount is excreted in breast milk
