title: The effects of propranolol hydrochloride singularly or in conjunction with ethanol on clotting activity in the rat.
abstract: 1. This study was designed to see if propranolol hydrochloride alone or in conjunction with ethanol had any marked effect on blood coagulation. 2. Rats were given the compounds for 7 days and clotting activity measured. 3. Propranolol induced changes in coagulation, both alone and in conjunction with ethanol. 4. The data suggest that propranolol plus ethanol induce changes that could be detrimental to hemostasis to a greater degree than propranolol alone.
