Propranolol
Medication
A beta-blocker (prescription medicine). Included because it can mask the warning signs of stimulant overdose, and combining it with cocaine causes unopposed vasoconstriction.
Dose and effect data: PsychonautWiki (CC BY-SA 4.0) and TripSit (PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0). Not covered by PsychonautWiki — data comes from TripSit. Prescription or supplement entry — included for interaction checking, not as recreational dose guidance. Less-used substance: fewer independent sources, so treat these numbers with extra caution.

Harm reduction
- Dosina shows prescription medicines so their interactions are visible - not so you can use them recreationally.
- Never stop a prescribed medicine abruptly to take something else. Antidepressant discontinuation syndrome is real and can be severe; talk to your prescriber first.
- SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, lithium and tricyclics all interact with recreational drugs in ways that range from 'wastes your money' to 'kills you'.
- Serotonin syndrome is the emergency to watch for: agitation, confusion, tremor, sweating, muscle rigidity, fever and a fast heartbeat after combining serotonergic drugs. It can become fatal within hours.
- Keep any prescription medicine in its original packaging and never share it.
