Suggest An Alternative To Propranolol Without Lactose In It
I have been prescribed Propranolol by my doctor in UK, for severe anxiety / panic attacks. However I now find that it contains lactose to which I am intolerant. I am currently in Egypt where any medicine can be purchased over the counter. Can you suggest an alternative to Propranolol which does not contain lactose

Hi,
Propranolol hydrochloride (60 mg) tablet manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals does not contain lactose in it hence it can be used safely while suffering from lactose intolerance. Lactose is commonly seen as lactose (hydrous or anhydrous) or lactose monohydrate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
