Help Propranolol

[mem12]

Hello, I tried to order the same propranolol as per PH book.

However, I got a different brand. I have now 2packs or propranolol. How do I know that they are fast acting?
I could upload pictures but I think it is against forum rules. Please fell free to send me a pm.

Do you have the brand. Could you try googling information on it.

I think instead of looking for "fast acting" ... you should be checking if they are "time released" or "long acting". If neither of those are specified then you have the right ones.

Usually drugs that are slow release have SR on the box!

Yes, or XR for extended release. You're looking for IR - immediate release. You can drop the brand name here if you need help.

I just can't seem to get it right. Spoonfeeding is needed. I have 3 , not sure are they any good. SO the only one that will do the job is - IR - immediate release?
If someone knows where I can get IR - immediate release in UK, please let me know.

I would say the bottom two packs are normal

I would say the bottom two packs are normal

The first one is slow release it's a harder capsule so takes your stomach longer to break it down

 

[mem12]

Propranolol - noumed - brown/white pack (second in the picture) - dissolved within 15min with stirring.
Propranolol - Teva - green/white pack (last in the picture) - dissolved within 5min with stirring. I assume this is the right one? Or I should get a pack that states IR - immediate release . Need to get this right.

As another person said the two 40mg's are the right one ... the 80mg is slow release. You want it to dissolve it into your SN mix before drinking .. so I don't think it matters between the two 40mgs.

It won't say immediate release on any packet.

Exactly. Immediate release is typically the default status of any medication unless specified otherwise.

I'd suggest that isn't a definitive enough method to rely on however. Medications are engineered to dissolve in the acidic environment of the stomach.

If your worried how long it will take to dissolve it is a good way to test them, SR will take hours to dissolve, extended release come in capsule form and slowly release the drug into the bloodstream over the course of the day.

Propranolol would dissolve faster in the stomach as it's a warm acidic environment but you won't know how long it takes, but I have seen the different boxes now so another mystery solved if it's slow release it will be on the front of the box SR.

The brand doesn't matter. It's a generic medication. I understand that the fatal dose is about 3g.

Please search propranolol on the forum. A minimum of 8g is recommended, and still may not be fatal at that dose.

8g is too much

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

8g is too much

Why do you say that?

 

[nomorepainss]

is this new method? i was thought for sn method

 

[GoodPersonEffed]

The OP didn't say, and the member I quoted said 3g, so I was thinking this was a discussion about a propanolol OD, not as a potentiator for SN, which would be 800mg until/if PN changes his mind again about the amount.

Check this out. Here is something to think about when you take a very large number of pills, they clump in your stomach:

This is not good. I don't know how to avoid this. This does not appear as if it will dissolve on it's own.
Doses of propranolol poisoning: from 1500 mg to survival following 8000 mg.

i have 15X 40 long acting prop, how can i dissolve it properly?

It is the coating on long acting pills mostly that clumps. I read that someone took 125 40 mg pills and survived. 15 won't do anything. You really need to do a lot of reading about this.

i wanna use it for sn, i have 30X40 normal and 15x40 long acting, i was looking for a way to dissolve it for fast absorption, surprisingly you posted that image :)


i found this reply through other source,

That is why patients are advised not to break sustained released tablets. However, there are certain sustained release forms that may not be as prone to this such as novel solid forms of the active pharmaceutical ingredient that dissolve more slowly. If the "sustained release" effect is achieved at the molecular level, crushing would have little effect. Hope this helps.
