Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Propranolol is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. Therefore, it is commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) among other conditions, but not conditions like asthma, myasthenia gravis, low blood pressure, or peptic ulcers, where its effects could be contraindicated or ineffective.
