Inderal (Propranolol) Tablets: Strengths, Pack Sizes and Prices

Inderal is the established brand name for propranolol, a non-selective beta-blocker supplied as oral tablets. We list Inderal in four strengths - 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg - and offer several pack sizes for each strength, so the real choice on this page is not whether to buy propranolol, but which strength, quantity and package best suit an existing prescription and planned supply period.

This guide walks through the available options, how their unit value compares, what propranolol tablets are used for and how they work, the safety points worth knowing before ordering, and how our checkout, packing and delivery process works for customers in the United Kingdom.

The choice in front of you: strength, quantity and value

Because Inderal tablets come in more than one strength and pack size, two customers with the same prescription can still end up choosing differently. One may prefer a smaller pack to start treatment or to check tolerance, while another with a long-standing, stable dose may prefer a larger pack to reduce the number of reorders. Neither choice is inherently better; it depends on the strength a prescriber has specified, how long a supply is intended to last, and how the customer prefers to manage storage and expiry at home.

What we can help with directly is value: comparing the total price and the price per tablet across the pack sizes we currently offer, so that the decision about quantity is an informed one rather than a guess.

Available packages and unit value

We offer Inderal 40 mg tablets in pack sizes of 90, 180, 270 and 360 tablets, and similar ranges of pack sizes exist across our other Inderal strengths. Larger packs typically carry a lower price per tablet than smaller packs of the same strength, which is worth weighing against how long a pack is actually expected to last and how the tablets will be stored in the meantime.

The comparison below sets out the exact current prices, the price per tablet, and the relative savings across our available Inderal 40 mg pack sizes, so that unit value can be read directly from the figures rather than estimated.

A lower unit price is a genuine advantage of buying a larger pack, but it is only one part of the decision. It matters alongside the strength and quantity a prescriber has actually specified, how many tablets are likely to be used before an expiry date is reached, and whether a customer is comfortable keeping a larger quantity of tablets in storage at home.

Which Inderal strength and pack size should I choose?

The strength itself is a clinical decision that sits with the prescriber, since propranolol dosing varies considerably by indication, and titration is often used when treatment starts. What we can offer is flexibility in how that prescribed strength is packaged and supplied:

• 10 mg tablets - pack sizes of 90, 180, 270 or 360 tablets.
• 20 mg tablets - pack sizes of 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 or 360 tablets.
• 40 mg tablets - pack sizes of 90, 180, 270 or 360 tablets.
• 80 mg tablets - pack sizes of 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 or 360 tablets.

The table below sets out the pack-size range available at each strength, separately from pricing, so the choice of strength and the choice of quantity can be considered as two distinct decisions.

When choosing a pack size, it helps to think in terms of a realistic supply period rather than only the headline total price. A larger pack may reduce reorder frequency and provide a lower unit price, provided the quantity matches the prescribed treatment plan and the tablets can be used within their expiry period and stored correctly. Someone starting treatment or awaiting a dose review from a prescriber may instead need a smaller quantity.

Brand tablets and the propranolol identity behind them

Inderal is the long-established brand name under which propranolol tablets have been marketed, and the active ingredient in every strength we list is propranolol in oral tablet form. Choosing Inderal specifically, rather than propranolol under another name, is largely a matter of prescription wording and familiarity with the particular tablet presentation, since the active ingredient, route and general dosing principles are shared across propranolol-containing tablets. We keep our Inderal listing focused on this one tablet identity across every strength and pack size, so the formulation a customer researches, orders and receives is consistent throughout.

What Inderal tablets are established for

Propranolol has a long-standing role in cardiovascular and neurological medicine, and oral tablets such as Inderal are used across several recognised indications, including:

• Hypertension, usually as part of a broader blood pressure management plan.
• Angina, to reduce the heart's workload and ease chest-pain symptoms.
• Certain heart rhythm disturbances, including atrial fibrillation, where rate control is needed.
• Essential tremor, where propranolol can reduce the visible shaking of the hands.
• Migraine prevention, taken regularly rather than during an attack itself.
• Symptomatic control of anxiety-related physical symptoms, such as a racing heartbeat, in some patients.

Customers exploring blood pressure treatment more broadly may also find it useful to look at our Blood Pressure range, and those specifically interested in migraine prevention options may want to browse our Migraine category alongside this listing.

How does propranolol work, and how should I take Inderal tablets?

Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker, meaning it blocks both beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors rather than acting only on the heart. By blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart, it slows the heart rate and reduces the force of each contraction, which lowers blood pressure and eases the heart's workload during angina or arrhythmias. Its action on beta-2 receptors elsewhere in the body contributes to its effect on tremor and on the physical symptoms of anxiety, but is also the reason it needs to be used cautiously in people with asthma or airway disease.

Inderal tablets are generally taken by mouth, with or without food, though taking them at a consistent time and in a consistent relationship to meals can make the effect more predictable day to day. Prescribers typically start at a lower dose and adjust it gradually based on response and tolerability, since appropriate propranolol doses vary widely between indications and between individuals. Effects on heart rate can be noticeable within an hour or two of a dose, while the tablets are usually taken on a regular ongoing schedule rather than as a one-off treatment. Propranolol should not be stopped abruptly after regular use, particularly in angina or heart rhythm conditions, since sudden withdrawal can worsen symptoms; any change in dose or discontinuation is a matter for the prescribing clinician.

Safety, interactions and who should be cautious

Propranolol is generally well tolerated, but as a non-selective beta-blocker it carries some specific safety considerations. Reported effects and precautions include:

• Fatigue, dizziness, cold hands and feet, and a slower resting heart rate, which are among the more common effects.
• A contraindication in people with a history of bronchospasm or asthma, since blocking beta-2 receptors in the airways can worsen breathing symptoms.
• Caution in diabetes, because propranolol can blunt some of the warning signs of low blood sugar, such as a racing heartbeat.
• Use in pregnancy only when clearly necessary, since beta-blockade can affect blood flow to the placenta.
• Breastfeeding is generally not recommended during treatment, as propranolol passes into breast milk.
• Interactions with other blood-pressure-lowering medicines, certain calcium-channel blockers, and medicines that affect heart rhythm, all of which a prescriber or pharmacist should be aware of.

Anyone affected by dizziness or fatigue should take care before driving or operating machinery until they know how the tablets affect them. This is general safety information rather than an individual assessment, and it does not replace the specific guidance given by the prescriber who assessed the strength and dose in the first place.

Do I need a prescription to order Inderal from us in the UK?

Propranolol is classified as a prescription-only medicine in the United Kingdom, and that classification does not change regardless of where or how a customer chooses to order it. Separately from that classification, our own ordering process for Inderal does not require a prescription document to be submitted before we accept an order, so customers can complete checkout with us without prescription paperwork attached at that stage. These are two different facts: the medicine's UK regulatory status, and what our checkout specifically asks for, and we keep both accurate rather than letting one imply the other.

Propranolol is also available on NHS prescription when a clinician considers it clinically appropriate, with the usual NHS prescription charge applying in England unless a patient is exempt, while charging arrangements differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Anyone who experiences a suspected side effect can report it through the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme, which exists specifically to monitor medicine safety across the UK.

Ordering, delivery and receiving your Inderal tablets

We have been operating our online catalogue since 2017, and our support team is available 24/7 by email, online chat and phone, including access to a pharmacist for medicine-related questions. Once an order for Inderal is placed, our team packs it and arranges delivery, and our checkout confirms the exact strength, pack size and quantity selected before the order is finalised, so there is no ambiguity between what was ordered and what is dispatched.

A few practical points help make the most of an order once it arrives:

• Store Inderal tablets at 20°C to 25°C, with brief excursions between 15°C and 30°C acceptable during transit or short periods.
• Keep tablets in a tightly closed, light-resistant container and protect them from moisture; do not store them in a bathroom cabinet.
• Check the expiry date against the planned supply period before choosing a larger pack size.
• Contact our support team if a delivery arrives with a mismatch between the strength or quantity ordered and what was received.

Bringing the decision together

Choosing Inderal from our catalogue really comes down to three linked decisions: the strength already established with a prescriber, the pack size that realistically matches how long that strength will be needed, and the unit value shown in the comparison above, which becomes more meaningful once the first two points are settled. A larger pack at a lower price per tablet is genuinely good value when its quantity matches the prescribed treatment plan and the tablets will be used within their expiry period and stored correctly, and less useful if it simply results in unused stock. Once the prescribed strength and an appropriate quantity are established, our checkout is where that exact choice gets confirmed, packed and sent on its way.
