How Long Does It Take For Propranolol To Reduce Heart Rate?
Question: how long does it take for 10mg of propranolol to reduce your heart rate and how long will this lower your heart for.
Hello and thank you for sending your question.
This is a very good question.
I would estimate that it will take about one or two hours for the medication to start to affect the heart rate. This effect would last for anywhere from 8 to 12 hours with the regular short acting version of this medication.
