Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker primarily used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It blocks beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors, leading to a reduction in heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, it is used off-label to alleviate anxiety symptoms. The substance has a moderate risk profile, particularly with abrupt discontinuation or in patients with certain pre-existing conditions.
