Hello,
Betnaz TR 20 is a propranolol 20 mg sustained-release tablet used for anxiety and high pulse rate.
If someone wants to taper the dose, yes - 10 mg propranolol is available, but usually in immediate-release (IR) form, not slow-release (SR/TR).
Most patients taper by switching from 20 mg TR - 10 mg IR once daily or twice daily depending on the doctor’s plan.
Next Steps
1. Consult your doctor before tapering - propranolol should not be stopped suddenly.
2. A typical taper is:
20 mg TR → 10 mg IR daily for 1–2 weeks
then 10 mg IR every alternate day → stop
3. Monitor pulse rate during tapering.
Health Tips
- Don’t mix TR and IR forms without guidance.
- Stopping suddenly can cause rebound anxiety or fast heart rate.
- Avoid caffeine and smoking when tapering — they increase heart rate.
