  • Summary of Propranolol vs. Sanctura

    Summary for Beta blocker
    Prescription only

    Propranolol is a non-selective beta blocker. It helps with a range of medical conditions, including high blood pressure, tremors, and migraine prevention. Sometimes, providers prescribe propranolol off-label to ease performance anxiety. You take this medication by mouth, typically 1 to 4 times daily, depending on if you're taking the immediate-release (IR) or extended-release (ER) medication. Keep in mind the IR and ER versions don't treat the same medical conditions. Some of the more common side effects of propranolol include dizziness, tiredness, or weakness.

    Trospium chloride is an antimuscarinic medication that's used to treat overactive bladder in adults. It's available as an immediate-release tablet that's taken by mouth twice daily and an extended-release capsule that's taken once daily. The most common side effects are dry mouth and constipation.
