HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Propanolol is not used commonly now to control high blood pressure since there are other meds that work a lot better. It is still used for persons with thyroid disease (to help control palpitations) and in persons with essential tremor (eg hand trembling)
At a dose frequency of three times a day, the minimum time is every 6 hours (no more than 3 times a day), should not use more frequently than this.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
