I'm taking Inderal 40 mg since August 2019, and recently I've cut it down to 20 mg for the past month. My pulse rate seems fine now. I'm wondering how I can safely stop taking this medication. What steps should I follow to withdraw from it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To withdraw from Inderal (Propranolol) 20 mg, it is important to gradually taper off the medication to avoid any potential withdrawal symptoms. You can start by reducing the dosage to 10 mg for a few weeks, and then further decrease it to 10 mg every other day for another few weeks. Finally, you can stop taking the medication completely. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance and monitoring during this process.

I'm a bit worried because I've been taking Rosukem A1075 after getting diagnosed with T2DM in September 2018. The cardiac doctor I visited then suggested this medication for a normal ECG and echo. But I've just got my annual health checkup reports, and both the ECG and TMT turned out fine. Now I'm unsure if I should keep taking this tablet. My diabetologist says I should continue with Rosuvas 5. Could you help me figure out what to do?
Since you were advised Rosukem A1075 by the cardiologist, it is important to follow their recommendation for your heart health. Rosukem A1075 contains Rosuvastatin 10mg and Aspirin 75mg, which helps in managing cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. As for your diabetologist's advice to continue Rosuvas 5, it contains Rosuvastatin 5mg which also helps in lowering cholesterol. It is important to follow both specialists' advice for optimal management of your conditions. So, you can continue taking Rosukem A1075 as advised by the cardiologist and Rosuvas 5 as advised by the diabetologist for your overall health."
