Large Doses of Propranolol for the Treatment of Infantile Cephalic and Facial Hemangiomas: A Clinical Report of 38 Cases

Abstract

Large doses of oral Propranolol to treat severe IHs patients had great clinical results. The treatment can shorten the natural course of IHs, making it a possible first choice for treatment.

Propranolol was effective in treating cutaneous infantile haemangiomas in Thai children

“…However, there have been many variations in terms of the clinical use of propranolol. For example, there are still worldwide variations in the optimal dose, frequency and total treatment duration used by different institutes . Moreover, the side effects of this medication have to be addressed and monitored for patient safety, even though the short‐term side effects, such as hypoglycaemia, bradycardia and hypotention, are rarely found in the treatment of infantile haemangiomas.…”
