Just curious how many times per day you all are giving propranolol? My daughter takes it 3 times a day but I've heard some take it twice.

Tests before starting Propranolol
For those of you who have used propranolol, what tests were done before starting? Did you baby stay in the hospital for monitoring of the first dose or was it given at home?
