SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE INVIVO EFFECT OF PROPRANOLOL ON PLATELET-AGGREGATION AND RELEASE

Platelet function was investigated in four normal volunteers, one patient with a mild form of von Willebrand disease, and one with a thrombocytopathy, all taking propranolol. No effect on platelet function attributable to this drug could be demonstrated in any of these subjects. It is suggested that propranolol administered in conventional doses does not impair platelet hemostatic function. Copyright © 1978 Wiley‐Liss, Inc., A Wiley Company
