PROPRANOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE- PROPRANOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE TABLET REDPHARM DRUG, INC. ---------- DESCRIPTION Propranolol hydrochloride is a synthetic beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent chemically described as 2-Propanol, 1-[(1-methylethyl)amino]-3-(1-naphthalenyloxy)-, hydrochloride,(±)-. Its molecular and structural formulae are: [This is the formula for Propranolol Hydrochloride.] Propranolol hydrochloride is a stable, white, crystalline solid which is readily soluble in water and ethanol. Its molecular weight is 295.80. Propranolol hydrochloride is available as 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg, and 80 mg tablets for oral administration. The inactive ingredients contained in propranolol hydrochloride tablets, USP are: anhydrous lactose, colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, D&C Yellow #10 (10 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg tablets), FD&C Blue #1 (20 mg tablet), FD&C Blue #2 (40 mg tablet), FD&C Red #40 (60 mg tablet), FD&C Yellow #6 (10 mg and 80 mg tablets), magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY General Propranolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent possessing no other autonomic nervous system activity. It specifically competes with beta-adrenergic receptor agonist agents for available receptor sites. When access to beta-receptor sites is blocked by propranolol, the chronotropic, inotropic, and vasodilator responses to beta-adrenergic stimulation are decreased proportionately. At dosages greater than required for beta blockade, propranolol also exerts a quinidine-like or anesthetic-like membrane action, which affects the cardiac action potential. The significance of the membrane action in the treatment of arrhythmias is uncertain. Mechanism of Action The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of propranolol has not been established. Factors that may contribute to the antihypertensive action include: (1) decreased cardiac output, (2) inhibition of renin release by the kidneys, and (3) diminution of tonic sympathetic nerve outflow from vasomotor centers in Read the complete document
