Is propranolol okay during pregnancy?

2022-04-04 09:44:12
I have been taking propranolol 20mg for anxiety/panic attacks for 10 yrs but I don't take regularly and only take when my anxiety is very high, for example before boarding an airplane. I am around 7 weeks pregnant and want to know if I can continue taking propranolol when I need it/only when panic level is high. I have been having stress about pregnancy and sometimes I feel adrenaline shoot in my body so I want to take propranolol to calm down but don't want to compromise my baby health. Please advise. If it's not safe, are there other anxiety meds I can take? (I've taken antidepressants in the past and they don't work on me at all.) Also what kind of doctor is best to consult? Thank you kindly

Not completely safe. But cab ne taken without any significant maternal or fetal issue. Try to avoid near to delivery time.
