Question:
|
|
|
Do you know if the beta blocker Inderal can cause intense gastric distress, primarily bloating and cramping? It is a great med in my opinion, but the misery is a bit much and my doctor just told me to live with it. My books disagree about this. What is your view? Thanks!

Dear ktfan,
Inderal has been known to cause nausea, vomiting, flatulance, and diarrhoea. There may be an alternative depending on the reasons for it's use. There are other drugs in this class which may give you the benefit without the side-effects.
Regards, Doctor.
