Inderal (Propranolol hydrochloride) is a prescription medicine that has been licensed to treat several conditions related to the heart and blood vessels.

Brand-name Inderal tablets (originally made by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals) are no longer available. Generic versions are available and are made by numerous different manufacturers.

Inderal is part of a class of drugs called beta-adrenergic blocking agents, or beta blockers for short. As the name implies, beta blockers block beta receptors in the body. Beta receptors are located in a number of places within the body, including the heart and blood vessels. These receptors are what stress hormones (such as adrenaline) attach to and cause certain reactions in the body, such as an increase in:

* Heart rate
* The force with which the heart pumps blood
* Blood pressure (both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure)

By blocking beta receptors, Inderal causes the reverse effect of stress hormones. It decreases heart rate and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as the workload of the heart. This means that the heart requires less blood and oxygen to work properly.

For people with migraines or an essential tremor, it is not known exactly how Inderal works. However, there are beta receptors in the brain that may be involved.

By lowering blood pressure, Inderal can decrease the risks that accompany long-term high blood pressure.

By decreasing the heart's workload, the medication can decrease symptoms of angina, including chest pain. Although the exact mechanism is not known, Inderal can increase the survival rate in people who have just suffered a heart attack.
