How Can The Withdrawal Symptoms Of Propranolol Be Managed?
Hi how long does it take for propranol to come out of my system? I was given them for sinus related migraines. I ve stopped taking them for two days, my chest is feeling tight, feels like having a irregular heartbeat. I want to stop taking these what can you advise?
The half life of a medication is the time it takes for the amount of medication in the body to decrease by half. It takes approximately 3 to 4 half lives for a medication to mostly be elimated from the body.
The half life of break down active part of propanolol is 5.2 to 7.5 hours . This means that it would take approximately 15 to 30 hours for it to be eliminated.
It should be mostly be out of your system after 2 days. This means that you may need to consider seeing your doctor to rule out other causes for your symptoms.
I hope this helps
