Clonazepam + Propranolol

Uses of Clonazepam + Propranolol

  • Clonazepam + Propranolol is to manage anxiety disorders, particularly when they present with physical symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, shaking, and profuse sweating. This combination includes a benzodiazepine (Clonazepam) and a beta-blocker (Propranolol). 
  • In some cases, it may also be used off-label for seizure disorders and rarely for preventing migraines. Additionally, Clonazepam + Propranolol is effective in treating high blood pressure, panic disorders, fast heartbeat, and migraine symptoms.

Side effects of Clonazepam + Propranolol

  • Drowsiness

  • Dizziness

  • Memory problems

  • Slow heartbeat

  • Cold hands and feet

How Clonazepam + Propranolol works

  • Clonazepam is a type of benzodiazepine. It works by enhancing the activity of GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid), a substance in the brain that calms the excessive activity of the neurons, thereby helping to reduce anxiety.

  • Propranolol is a beta-blocker. It decreases the impact of adrenaline and noradrenaline on the heart, blood vessels, and other tissues. This leads to a slower heart rate, less forceful heart contractions, dilation of blood vessels, and reduced blood pressure which helps to manage anxiety-related physical symptoms.
