Hi,
Yes, in many cases Inderal LA 20 mg (sustained-release) can be used instead of Inderal 10 mg twice daily (immediate-release). Both provide a similar total daily dose of propranolol. The LA (long-acting) form gives a more even effect throughout the day, which can be helpful for symptoms like palpitations, tremors, and physical anxiety.
Next Steps
- Switch only after confirming with your prescribing doctor.
- Take Inderal LA once daily, preferably at the same time each day.
- Monitor pulse rate and blood pressure for the first few days.
- Review response after 1-2 weeks.
Health Tips
- Propranolol helps physical symptoms of anxiety, not anxious thoughts- psychological treatment may also be needed.

Definitely you can take once a day 20 mg propranolol
Anxiety and pulse rate will be controlled
Must done through guidance of your doctor
In most of the anxiety disorders it is prescribed with a main medication, further it is gradually tapered

Shouldn’t be a problem. But inderal is known to cause a fall in BP. So that must be kept in mind with higher doses.
