How this medicine works

The U.S. public label describes propranolol as a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking agent that competes with beta-receptor stimulating agents for available receptor sites. This mechanism helps read drug class and label cautions; it does not determine an individual's heart rate, blood pressure, breathing status, suitability, capsule count, capsule opening or any combination plan.

Check the market, names, dosage form and route together

A medicine may use different brand names across markets. Keep the market, brand, generic name, dosage form and route together; one matching field does not prove that two packs are the same or interchangeable.

FOR EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

After the leaflet, continue with the question you still need to check

What this pack is

INDERAL LA is the brand name in this record; propranolol hydrochloride is the generic name. Read both together with the dosage form (oral capsule).

What this page can show

This is a source-traceable public record. It helps you read the product identity and its listed source documents; each market still needs its own current record check.

What to bring to the next conversation

Bring the actual pack, the label or prescription, and a complete medicine list when you speak with a pharmacist or clinician.

PRODUCT PRESENTATION IDENTITY

Strength, pack and device identity

Package strength is not an individual dose. These fields help identify the exact labelled product; they do not calculate how much, how often, a missed-use action, splitting, switching or conversion.

4 source-backed strength, pack or device records — open the full list

First match the market, dosage form and labelled amount on the pack in hand. The number of tablets, sachets or devices in a pack is not a personal dose or schedule.

LABEL READING · NOT A PRESCRIPTION

INDERAL LA label reading: extended-release capsules and mg identify a product; they do not answer “how to switch or how many capsules”

Reading level: drug-specific label reading. This record has been expanded around its dosage form or a higher-risk reading question; the current target-market label and professional review still apply.

This module reads only INDERAL LA, propranolol hydrochloride, extended-release oral capsules, labelled amount per capsule, NDCs, packaging and key warnings in the U.S. DailyMed public label. It provides no individual capsule count, timing, capsule opening, co-use, stopping, switching or purchase plan.

  • Check INDERAL LA, propranolol hydrochloride, extended-release oral-capsule form, the stated 60/80/120/160 mg per capsule, actual NDC, 100-capsule bottle and target market together. The label expressly says this extended-release product is not a simple mg-for-mg substitute for conventional propranolol; mg is an exact-capsule identity field, not a web conversion or switching rule.
  • The extended-release capsule name, appearance and package only help identify the exact product. Whether a capsule may be opened, how to address swallowing difficulty, or whether another form or strength is needed must be confirmed from the actual prescription, current label and a pharmacist or prescriber—not from a prior pack, a similar mg number or this webpage.
  • The label contains cautions involving abrupt discontinuation, cardiac risks, bronchospastic lung disease, heart failure, masking of hyperthyroid signs and other medicines on the list. These need professional review in the actual context. Do not self-start, adjust, stop, combine, alternate or replace it because of a feeling, a conventional tablet with the same generic name or another same-class pack.
  • With fainting, breathing difficulty, marked palpitations/abnormal heart rate, chest pain, a severe allergic reaction or another acute serious concern, prioritise local emergency medical care. Do not wait for a web search or self-counteract or test with another pack.

PHARMACOVIGILANCE · OFFICIAL ROUTES

Check safety information in the right market

Start with the public label or product record linked to this dossier, then use the official safety routes below for the market that applies to the medicine in hand.

Match five details before using a safety record

  1. Brand and generic nameBoth must match the medicine named by the record.
  2. Dosage form and strengthTablet, capsule, injection, inhaler, patch and eye drop are not interchangeable.
  3. Market and notice dateA record applies only to the country or region and date it names.
  4. Lot, pack and manufacturerRecord these only when the official notice specifically names them.
  5. Current product informationA historical record may have been superseded by the current label.

This checklist only helps organise the right question. It does not create a personal conclusion about stopping, switching, dose, combination or suitability.

This card brings together the medicine-specific product route and 15 market-level official vigilance gateways. It does not mean real-time alerts for this medicine have been searched in every country or region, or that the medicine has a new alert, recall or risk conclusion. Match brand, generic name, dosage form, strength, market and notice date item by item; do not self-stop, switch, increase or reduce use from a headline.

For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, loss of consciousness or another emergency, use local emergency services. Do not wait for an online alert search or change a medicine from this page.

PACK · LABEL · MEDICINE LIST

Six checks for this medicine pack

Use this card to organise questions about INDERAL LA (propranolol hydrochloride). Keep the exact pack, its current label and the full medicine list together.

  1. Identify the exact product

    INDERAL LA is the brand in this record and propranolol hydrochloride is the active-ingredient name. Check both with the dosage form (Dosage form and presentation as documented in the linked primary label) and the market on the actual pack.

  2. Read the labelled strength in context

    mg, mcg, mg/mL or a percentage describes the labelled amount in one tablet, capsule, measured volume, spray or other unit. It is not an answer to how many units a person should take.

  3. Check before splitting or opening

    Before splitting, crushing, chewing or opening anything, find an explicit instruction for this exact product in its current label and ask a pharmacist. A score line or a previous pack is not enough by itself.

  4. Put every product on one list

    Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products, eye drops, creams, vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements. A pharmacist or prescriber needs the whole list before any combination, alternation, switch or stop is considered.

  5. Ask a specific pharmacogenetics question

    Ask which medicine, which gene and what clinical decision a result could change. A gene–drug association does not mean broad genetic testing is needed for everyone and must not be used to change treatment without professional review.

  6. Know when to seek urgent help

    For a suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, fainting or difficulty breathing, use the local emergency or poison-information service now. Do not wait for a website reply or alter several medicines to test what caused it.

This card does not calculate a dose, decide whether medicines can be combined, or replace a clinician or pharmacist. Market-specific current labels and the person's full context still need review.

HOW IT WORKS · NOT A TREATMENT PLAN

How propranolol works: the nonselective beta-receptor blocking pathway described in the label

  • “Nonselective beta blocker” is a mechanism and class clue; it does not permit self-combining, alternating, substituting or milligram-converting with a conventional propranolol tablet, another extended-release product or another beta blocker. The exact product, strength, release design, target-market label, prior reactions and complete medicine list all need review together.
  • A mechanism or a labelled indication cannot let a webpage decide whether a person is suitable for this medicine or should change use. For heart rate, blood pressure, breathing symptoms, stopping, swallowing or an added medicine, obtain review from a professional who can see the complete history, tests and medicine list.
  • Mechanism information does not replace pharmacovigilance, interaction review or emergency assessment. For an acute serious problem, prioritise local emergency care; for other questions, contact a pharmacist or prescribing team with the actual pack and complete medicine list.

DOCUMENT TIMELINE

Document timeline

  1. U.S. DailyMed public label updated

    DailyMed lists 1 Aug 2024 as the Updated date for the U.S. public label for INDERAL LA (propranolol hydrochloride) extended-release oral capsules. This page uses that record only to check 60 mg, 80 mg, 120 mg and 160 mg extended-release capsules and the 100-capsule bottle panels for NDC 62559-520-01, 62559-521-01, 62559-522-01 and 62559-523-01; this only supports label and product-identity checking, not actual marketing, stock, purchase, individual capsule count, capsule opening, co-use, switching or another-market status.

MARKET SCOPE

Market-record boundary

United States

Public label and four exact 100-capsule bottle panels linked

The page separately displays the specified NDC and 100-capsule bottle for INDERAL LA propranolol hydrochloride extended-release capsules 60 mg, 80 mg, 120 mg and 160 mg. Release design and mg are only product-identity clues; they do not establish individual capsule count, capsule opening, actual marketing, stock, purchase, authenticity or interchangeability.

Mainland China, EU, Japan and other markets

Market record not established

No local trade name, approval, packaging, supply, sale eligibility, originator/generic relationship or interchangeability is inferred from the U.S. label, SPL, NDC, English brand, package image or label holder; every market requires separate checking against current local regulatory material.

How to read this record

Read each document in its stated market, date and dosage-form context. A historical record is not a current label and does not support individual medical, substitution or purchasing conclusions.

Keep international and mainland China records separate

This page has a U.S. public history/regulatory archive but no mainland China record for this specific product. That does not establish whether the medicine exists, is approved or is available in mainland China. Verify product identity, dosage form, strength, holder and the current label item by item.

RECORD FAQ

Record questions

With the same generic name propranolol, can INDERAL LA extended-release capsules be self-switched to conventional tablets by the same mg, or alternated with another beta blocker?

No. The label expressly says INDERAL LA should not be considered a simple mg-for-mg substitute for conventional propranolol. Release design, exact capsule, strength, package, label version, market and prescription are all part of product identity; have a pharmacist or prescriber check the actual packs and complete medicine list.

Do 60, 80, 120 or 160 mg on the capsule mean I can open it, reduce capsules or adjust it myself?

No. They are only labelled amounts per exact extended-release capsule in this U.S. label. This page provides no capsule-opening, individual capsule-count, timing, missed-use, doubling, stopping or substitution instruction; follow the actual prescription, current label for the exact product, and pharmacist or prescriber review.
