My boyfriend has no previous history of hypertension or angina, last week he presented hives presumably related to stress. He was prescribed Loratadine and Propanolol, but I just don't understand why the Propanolol. He is allergic to aspirin and penicylin, I am afraid he might get even worse with an additional ingredient to the mix.Is it normal for a dermatologist to prescribe a Beta Blocker and antihistamine medication at the same time?
Its darned near impossible to second guess a treatment plan without knowning all of the details.
That said, these two medications are a common treatment for a condition called cholenergic urticaria. Blood pressure or angina are not the only reasons someone might perscribe a beta blocker.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
