Abstract

During maintenance therapy the anti-hypertensive action of propranolol depends on total daily dosage. A within-patient cross-over study showed that the drug is equally effective when given twice or four times daily, although satisfactory blood pressure control was achieved slightly sooner with four times daily dosing.
