Propranolol For Alzheimer's Disease

    Propranolol,a drug used to treat high blood pressure, effectively controls agitation in alzheimer patients [163]. One study used 80 to 560 milligrams of propranolol daily to treat agitated alzheimer patients,who were not responding to conventional drugs. The agitation was effectively controlled without sedation [164].
   Another study reports that more than 67 percent of agitated alzheimer patients respond within two weeks on 10 to 80 milligrams of propranolol daily. Agitation is controlled for as long as 14 months [165].
