Pick My Pharmacy is an independent comparison service and not a pharmacy. Where a listing is a referral partner we may earn a commission when you visit them — this never changes prices you pay, ratings, or the order providers appear. Affiliate links use rel="sponsored" and are labelled “Ad – Affiliate”. For Prescription Only Medicines we promote the pharmacy’s clinical service, not a specific medicine, in line with the MHRA Blue Guide. See our affiliate compliance.
What the price covers
Online pharmacies usually publish an all-in price for propranolol that covers the clinical questionnaire, prescriber review, the tablets, and tracked delivery. Pack size and strength (for example 10mg or 40mg) change the total, so compare like-for-like quantities. Some services price it as a one-off supply rather than a monthly subscription — check whether repeats need a fresh review.
What it is — and what it is not
Propranolol is a beta-blocker. In private online mental-health and anxiety services it is commonly considered for physical symptoms of situational anxiety (such as shaking or a racing heart before a specific event). It does not treat the underlying psychological drivers of anxiety the way talking therapies or SSRIs may, and it is not appropriate for every anxiety presentation. Whether it suits you is a clinical decision made in the consultation.
Safety checks
The consultation screens for conditions and medicines that make propranolol unsuitable — including asthma and some cardiac problems. Never buy from a site that skips health questions. If anxiety is ongoing, severe, or affecting daily life, speak to your GP or use NHS talking therapies rather than relying only on as-needed tablets. If you are in crisis, call 111, Samaritans on 116 123, or text Shout on 85258.
NHS vs private
A GP can prescribe propranolol on the NHS where appropriate, usually at the standard prescription charge in England. Private online supply is mainly about convenience and speed for clearly situational symptoms after a remote assessment. This page compares treatment-service prices only — it is not medical advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy propranolol for anxiety without a prescription?▼
No. Propranolol is prescription-only in the UK. A clinician must review suitability before supply.
Is propranolol an antidepressant?▼
No. It is a beta-blocker sometimes used for physical symptoms of situational anxiety. It is not the same as an SSRI such as sertraline.
Why might a pharmacy refuse propranolol?▼
Common reasons include asthma, certain heart conditions, interacting medicines, or because your symptoms need a different type of care. A refusal is the safety system working.
Why does a pharmacy on this Propranolol (anxiety symptoms) table have no price?▼
We only publish a provider price when we have verified it against that pharmacy’s own published treatment-service page, with a checked date. A blank cell means the figure is not on file — not that the service is free, and not that we ranked the pharmacy last. Confirm the live price on the pharmacy’s site. Pharmacies can submit a published figure when they claim a listing; payment never fills a cell.
Can a pharmacy pay to rank higher for Propranolol (anxiety symptoms)?▼
No. Payment buys labelled visibility and qualified enquiries, never a better score or a higher row on this table. Referral links are labelled “Ad – Affiliate” and use rel="sponsored". See our methodology.
