🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE INNOPRAN XL is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. These benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes, including beta-blockers.
Control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake. Many patients will require more than one drug to achieve blood pressure goals. For specific advice on goals and management, see published guidelines, such as those of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program’s Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC).
Numerous antihypertensive drugs, from a variety of pharmacologic classes and with different mechanisms of action, have been shown in randomized controlled trials to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and it can be concluded that it is blood pressure reduction, and not some other pharmacologic property of the drugs, that is largely responsible for those benefits. The largest and most consistent cardiovascular outcome benefit has been a reduction in the risk of stroke, but reductions in myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality also have been seen regularly.
Elevated systolic or diastolic pressure causes increased cardiovascular risk, and the absolute risk increase per mm Hg is greater at higher blood pressures, so that even modest reductions of severe hypertension can provide substantial benefit. Relative risk reduction from blood pressure reduction is similar across populations with varying absolute risk, so the absolute benefit is greater in patients who are at higher risk independent of their hypertension (for example, patients with diabetes or hyperlipidemia), and such patients would be expected to benefit from more aggressive treatment to a lower blood pressure goal.
Some antihypertensive drugs have smaller blood pressure effects (as monotherapy) in black patients, and many antihypertensive drugs have additional approved indications and effects (e.g., on angina, heart failure, or diabetic kidney disease). These considerations may guide selection of therapy. INNOPRAN XL is a beta-adrenergic blocker indicated for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure.
Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. ( 1 )
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION INNOPRAN XL should be administered once daily at bedtime and should be taken consistently either on an empty stomach or with food. Initiate dosing at 80 mg and titrate to 120 mg daily as needed for blood pressure control. Doses above 120 mg have no additional effects on blood pressure [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] .
Full antihypertensive response is usually achieved within 2 to 3 weeks. • Administer once daily at bedtime consistently either on an empty stomach or with food. ( 2 ) • Initiate dosage at 80 mg and titrate up to 120 mg if needed. ( 2 )

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS INNOPRAN XL is contraindicated in patients with: • Cardiogenic shock or decompensated heart failure • Sinus bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, and greater than first-degree block unless a permanent pacemaker is in place • Bronchial asthma • Known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic reaction) to propranolol hydrochloride or any of the components of INNOPRAN XL • Cardiogenic shock and decompensated heart failure. ( 4 ) • Sinus bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, and greater than first-degree block unless a permanent pacemaker is in place.
( 4 ) • Bronchial asthma. ( 4 ) • Hypersensitivity to propranolol or any of the components of INNOPRAN XL. ( 4 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Abrupt cessation may exacerbate myocardial ischemia. ( 5.1 ) • May worsen congestive heart failure. ( 5.2 ) • Avoid discontinuing therapy prior to major surgery. ( 5.3 ) • Diabetes: May mask symptoms of hypoglycemia, and alter glucose levels; monitor. ( 5.4 ) • Bradycardia. ( 5.6 )
5.1Cardiac Ischemia after Abrupt Discontinuation Following abrupt discontinuation of therapy with beta-blockers, exacerbations of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction have occurred. When discontinuing chronically administered INNOPRAN XL, particularly in patients with ischemic heart disease, gradually reduce the dose over a period of 1-2 weeks and monitor the patients. If angina markedly worsens or acute coronary insufficiency develops, promptly resume therapy, at least temporarily and take other measures appropriate for the management of unstable angina.
Warn patients against interruption or discontinuation of therapy without physician’s advice. Because coronary artery disease is common and may be unrecognized, avoid abrupt discontinuation of INNOPRAN XL therapy even in patients treated only for hypertension.
5.2Cardiac Failure Beta-blockers, like INNOPRAN XL, can cause depression of myocardial contractility and may precipitate heart failure and cardiogenic shock. If signs or symptoms of heart failure develop, treat the patient according to recommended guidelines. It may be necessary to lower the dose of INNOPRAN XL or to discontinue it.
5.3Maintain During Major Surgery Chronically administered beta-blocking therapy, including INNOPRAN XL, should not be routinely withdrawn prior to major surgery; however, the impaired ability of the heart to respond to reflex adrenergic stimuli may augment the risks of general anesthesia and surgical procedures.
5.4Hypoglycemia Beta-blockers may prevent early warning signs of hypoglycemia, such as tachycardia, and increase the risk for severe or prolonged hypoglycemia at any time during treatment, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus or children and patients who are fasting (i.e., surgery, not eating regularly, or are vomiting). If severe hypoglycemia occurs, patients should be instructed to seek emergency treatment.
5.5Thyrotoxicosis INNOPRAN XL may mask clinical signs of hyperthyroidism, such as tachycardia. Avoid abrupt withdrawal of beta-blockade, which may precipitate a thyroid storm.
5.6Bradycardia Bradycardia, including sinus pause, heart block, and cardiac arrest have occurred with the use of INNOPRAN XL. Patients with first-degree atrioventricular block, sinus node dysfunction, or conduction disorders (including Wolff-Parkinson-White) may be at increased risk. The concomitant use of beta-adrenergic blockers and non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (e.g., verapamil and diltiazem), digoxin or clonidine increases the risk of significant bradycardia.
Monitor heart rate and rhythm in patients receiving INNOPRAN XL. If severe bradycardia develops, reduce or stop INNOPRAN XL.
5.7Reduced Effectiveness of Epinephrine in Treating Anaphylaxis Beta adrenergic blocker-treated patients treated with epinephrine for a severe anaphylactic reaction may be less responsive to the typical doses of epinephrine. In these patients, consider other medications (e.g., intravenous fluids, glucagon).
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥3% and greater than placebo) included the following: fatigue, dizziness, and constipation. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1-855-204-1431 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adverse reactions occurring at a rate of ≥3%, excluding those reported more commonly in placebo, encountered in the INNOPRAN XL placebo-controlled hypertension trials and plausibly related to treatment are shown in Table 1. Table 1.
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Reactions Reported In ≥3% of Subjects Body System Placebo (N=88) INNOPRAN XL 80 mg (N=89) 120mg (N=85) Fatigue 3 (3%) 4 (5%) 6 (7%) Dizziness (except vertigo) 2 (2%) 6 (7%) 3 (4%) Constipation 0 3 (3%) 1 (1%)
6.2Postmarketing Experience In addition to adverse reactions reported from clinical trials, the following reactions have been identified during post-marketing use of INNOPRAN XL. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. The following adverse reactions were observed and have been reported with use of formulations of sustained- or immediate-release propranolol.
Allergic: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions; pharyngitis and agranulocytosis; erythematous rash, fever combined with aching and sore throat, laryngospasm, and respiratory distress. Autoimmune: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Cardiovascular: exacerbation of peripheral arterial disease, arterial insufficiency, usually of the Raynaud type.

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • CYP2D6, 1A2, or 2C19 enzyme inhibitors increase propranolol levels. ( 7.1 ) • CYP1A2 and 2C19 inducers decrease propranolol levels. ( 7.1 ) • Monitor prothrombin time when propranolol is co-administered with warfarin. ( 7.1 )
7.1Pharmacokinetic Drug-Drug Interactions Impact of Propranolol on Other Drugs Warfarin: Warfarin concentrations are increased when administered with propranolol. Monitor prothrombin time accordingly [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.7 )] . Propafenone: Co-administration of propranolol increases the plasma concentrations of propafenone.
Monitor patients for symptoms of excessive exposure to propafenone including bradycardia and postural hypotension [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.7 )] . Impact of Other Drugs on Propranolol CYP2D6, CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 Inhibitors: CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. bupropion, fluoxetine, paroxetine, quinidine), CYP1A2 inhibitors (e.g., ciprofloxacin, enoxamine, fluvoxamine) and CYP2C19 inhibitors (e.g., fluconazole, fluvoxamine, ticlopidine) increase exposure to propranolol when co-administered with INNOPRAN XL. Monitor patients for bradycardia and hypotension [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.7 )] .
CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 Inducers: CYP1A2 inducers (e.g., phenytoin, montelukast, smoking) and CYP2C19 inducers (e.g. rifampin) decrease the plasma levels of propranolol resulting in a loss of efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.7 )] . Cholestyramine and Colestipol: Co-administered cholestyramine or colestipol significantly reduces the plasma concentrations of co-administered propranolol which may result in loss of efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.7 )] .
7.2Pharmacodynamic Drug-Drug Interactions Adrenergic Agonists: Beta-blockers may antagonize the antihypertensive effects of clonidine, and rebound hypertension may result if clonidine is withdrawn abruptly. If clonidine and a beta-blocker are co-administered, withdraw the beta-blocker several days before the withdrawal of clonidine. Alpha Blockers: Co-administration of beta-blockers with alpha-blocker (e.g., prazosin) has been associated with prolongation of first dose hypotension and syncope.
Dobutamine: Propranolol may reduce sensitivity to dobutamine stress echocardiography in patients undergoing evaluation for myocardial ischemia. Antidepressants: The hypotensive effect of MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants may be exacerbated when administered with beta-blockers. Monitor patients for postural hypotension.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may attenuate the antihypertensive effect of beta-adrenoreceptor blocking agents. Monitor blood pressure.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS • Pregnancy: Monitor neonates whose mothers received propranolol near the time of delivery for bradycardia, hypoglycemia, and/or respiratory depression and manage accordingly. ( 8.1 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Prolonged experience with propranolol in pregnant women over several decades, based on published interventional and observational studies, has not identified a drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal outcomes. Bradycardia, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression have been observed with use of beta-blockers, including propranolol, in utero near the time of delivery. There are inconsistent reports of intrauterine growth restriction with beta-blocker use, including propranolol, during pregnancy.
Untreated hypertension during pregnancy can lead to serious adverse outcomes for the mother and the fetus (see Clinical Considerations and Data). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Hypertension in pregnancy increases the maternal risk for pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, premature delivery, and delivery complications (e.g., need for cesarean section, and post-partum hemorrhage) Hypertension increases the fetal risk for intrauterine growth restriction and intrauterine death.
Pregnant women with hypertension should be carefully monitored and managed accordingly. Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Propranolol crosses the placenta. Neonates born to mothers who are receiving propranolol during pregnancy, may be at risk for bradycardia, hypoglycemia, and respiratory depression.
Monitor neonates exposed to propranolol during pregnancy and manage accordingly . Data Animal Data In a series of reproductive and developmental toxicology studies, propranolol was given to rats by gavage or in the diet throughout pregnancy and lactation. At doses of 150 mg/kg/day, but not at doses of 80 mg/kg/day (equivalent to the maximum recommended human oral daily dose (MRHD) on a body surface area basis), treatment was associated with embryotoxicity (reduced litter size and increased resorption rates) as well as neonatal toxicity (deaths).
Propranolol HCl was also administered (in the feed) to rabbits (throughout pregnancy and lactation) at doses as high as 150 mg/kg/day (about 5 times the MRHD). No evidence of embryo or neonatal toxicity was noted.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary Propranolol is present in human milk at low levels, but the related risk to a breastfed infant is unknown. There are no data on the effects of propranolol on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for INNOPRAN XL and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from INNOPRAN XL or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.3Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Infertility Males Based on the published literature, beta-blockers, including propranolol, may cause erectile dysfunction. In rats, propranolol inhibits spermatogenesis [see Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] .
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of propranolol in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of INNOPRAN XL did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, refl…

🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of INNOPRAN XL did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE Most overdoses of propranolol are mild and respond to supportive care. Propranolol is not significantly dialyzable. Hypotension and bradycardia have been reported following propranolol overdose and should be treated appropriately.
Glucagon can exert potent inotropic and chronotropic effects and may be particularly useful for the treatment of hypotension or depressed myocardial function after a propranolol overdose. Glucagon should be administered as 50 to 150 mcg/kg intravenously followed by continuous drip of 1 to 5 mg/hour for positive chronotropic effect. Isoproterenol, dopamine or phosphodiesterase inhibitors may also be useful.
Epinephrine, however, may provoke uncontrolled hypertension. Bradycardia can be treated with atropine or isoproterenol. Serious bradycardia may require temporary cardiac pacing.
Monitor the electrocardiogram, pulse, blood pressure, neurobehavioral status and intake and output balance. Isoproterenol and aminophylline may be used for bronchospasm.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of propranolol has not been established. Among factors that contribute to the antihypertensive action are: (1) decreased cardiac output, (2) inhibition of renin release by the kidneys, and (3) diminution of tonic sympathetic nerve outflow from vasomotor centers in the brain. Although total peripheral resistance may increase initially, it readjusts to or below the pretreatment level with chronic use.
Effects of propranolol on plasma volume appear to be minor and somewhat variable.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Propranolol is a nonselective, beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking agent possessing no other autonomic nervous system activity. It specifically competes with beta-adrenergic receptor-stimulating agents for available receptor sites. Of the 2 enantiomers of propranolol, the S-enantiomer blocks beta-adrenergic receptors.
When access to beta-receptor sites is blocked by propranolol, chronotropic, inotropic, and vasodilator responses to beta-adrenergic stimulation are decreased proportionately. At dosages greater than required for beta-blockade, propranolol also exerts a quinidine-like or anesthetic-like membrane action, which affects the cardiac action potential. The significance of the membrane action in the treatment of arrhythmias is uncertain.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption: Propranolol is highly lipophilic and is almost completely absorbed after oral administration. However, it undergoes high first-pass metabolism by the liver, and, on average, only about 25% of propranolol reaches the systemic circulation. A single-dose, food-effect study in 36 healthy subjects showed that a high fat meal administered with INNOPRAN XL at 10 p.m., increased the lag time from 3 to 5 hours and the time to reach the maximum concentration from 11.5 to 15.4 hours, with no effect on the AUC.
Following multiple-dose administration of INNOPRAN XL at 10 p.m. under fasting conditions, the steady state lag time was between 4 and 5 hours and propranolol peak plasma concentrations were reached approximately 12 to 14 hours after dosing. Propranolol trough levels were achieved 24 to 27 hours after dosing, and persisted for 3 to 5 hours after the next dose. The plasma levels of propranolol showed dose-proportional increases after single and multiple administration of 80, 120, and 160 mg of INNOPRAN XL.
At steady state, the bioavailability of a 160 mg dose of INNOPRAN XL and propranolol hydrochloride long-acting capsules did not differ significantly. Distribution: Approximately 90% of circulating propranolol is bound to plasma proteins (albumin and alpha 1 acid glycoprotein). The binding is enantiomer-selective.
The S-isomer is preferentially bound to alpha 1 glycoprotein and the R-isomer preferentially bound to albumin. The volume of distribution of propranolol is approximately 4 liters. Metabolism and Elimination: Propranolol is extensively metabolized with most metabolites appearing in the urine.
Propranolol is metabolized through 3 primary routes: Aromatic hydroxylation (mainly 4-hydroxylation), N-dealkylation followed by further side-chain oxidation, and direct glucuronidation. It has been estimated that the percentage contributions of these routes to total metabolism are 42%, 41%, and 17%, respectively, but with considerable variability between individuals. The 4 major metabolites are propranolol glucuronide, naphthyloxylactic acid, and glucuronic acid and sulfate conjugates of 4-hydroxy propranolol.
In vitro studies have indicated that the aromatic hydroxylation of propranolol is catalyzed mainly by polymorphic CYP2D6. Side-chain oxidation is mediated mainly by CYP1A2 and to some extent by CYP2D6. 4-hydroxy propranolol is a weak inhibitor of CYP2D6.
Propranolol is also a substrate for CYP2C19 and a substrate for the intestinal efflux transporter, p-glycoprotein (p-gp). Studies suggest however that p-gp is not dose-limiting for intestinal absorption of propranolo…
🧬 Mechanism of Action ▾
12.1Mechanism of Action The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of propranolol has not been established. Among factors that contribute to the antihypertensive action are: (1) decreased cardiac output, (2) inhibition of renin release by the kidneys, and (3) diminution of tonic sympathetic nerve outflow from vasomotor centers in the brain. Although total peripheral resistance may increase initially, it readjusts to or below the pretreatment level with chronic use.
Effects of propranolol on plasma volume appear to be minor and somewhat variable.
