Sorry, dont know. But if you really wan't a betablocker all you have to do is go to a doctor and teel im you want it, shouldn't be harder than that really. If you donät want to convince your docotr that you are gonna use it for rosacea just tell im you got a stage-fright or having problems being in the center of attention or something, that will easily get you a prescribtion. I don't know what country your in but generally betablockers is extremely easy to get.

hi, thanks for the advice ))

I have read that there are a lot of collateral effects with beta blocker and then I would something lighter (a narutal product preferably).

I take the time release version of Atenolol ( Toprol XL 50) for a periodic
fast heart beat. It has never kept me from flushing that I have noticed. I took Atenolol for a year and it didn't even help with my heart beat. The Dr. just doesn't want that adrenalin hitting my heart. It may help some people who flush, and I wish I were that lucky. That would be kind of like killing two birds with one stone.

There aren't any non-prescription beta-blockers.

Sorry in advance for my spelling! I'm way too dependant on automatic spell checks!

Atenolol belongs to the selective class of betablockers, and so is less likely to cause side effects (such as cold hands and feet) than non selective ones like propronolol. I've tried them both and didn't notice much difference between them, i didn't find they helped my flushing to much but they do have the bonus of reducing anxiety in some situations (by block adrenelin), like when public speaking.

Good.. all bad news

thanks for the answers

Atenolol has been wonderful for me..especially for anxiety flushing and my daily evening flush. i have not had an evening flush since i began taking the beta-blocker.( three months) and it has allowed me to give speeches without the hot face and burning ears without this I would always turn red and hot. Before starting with atenelol i contemplated dropping out of my masters program due to the embarrassment of public speaking and now I look forward to my classes and speaking

Guest, would you be so kind as to let me know what your doseage is
and if you suffer from negative side effects from the Atenolol.

Thanks.
