Hi doctor,

My doctor asked me to take 10 mg of Inderal three times a day. I accidentally took 20 mg this time. Am I in danger?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You need not be worried about having taken 20 mg of Inderal (Propranolol).

The range of dosages of Inderal is very wide. You are not in danger.
