I am on 120mg of propananol a day bit think I have taken 160mg u mistake do you think I will be OK as I'm already anxious as it is that I have overdosed thanks
The quote from the patient info leaflet shows that the dosage varies depending on what the Propanolol is being used to treat. It is as follows...
Usual doses:
Adults & children over 12 years:
Angina, migraine or tremor - initially 40mg two or three times a day, then 120-240mg a day for angina or 80-160mg a day for migraine or tremor.
High blood pressure - initially 80mg twice a day, then 160-320mg a day.
Irregular/fast heart beats, over active thyroid gland or enlarged heart muscle - 10-40mg three or four times a day.
Heart attack (start treatment 5-21 days after attack) - 40mg four times a day for 2-3 days, then 80mg twice a day.
Phaeochromocytoma
before an operation - 60mg a day for 3 days.
treatment dose - 30mg a day.
Anxiety - 40mg before anxious situations. For long-term anxiety 40mg two or three times a day, treatment is reviewed after 6-12 months.
Liver disease due to high blood pressure - initially 40mg twice a day, increasing to 80mg twice a day depending on response. Maximum dose 160mg twice a day.
It looks like you're a very long way from having OD-ed.
Hope this helps, D
Thanks panicking about panicking not good, I read this and thought omg I have took 160mg argggh
My friend took half a dozen tablets in a "cry for help" mock suicide attempt. I took him to A & E aand they said that it was't a problem. On this basis I would deduce that you should be fine.
Never chance it. Ask the doc.
Thanks
Was yesterday but thanks I'm fine so presume it did me no harm
