Beta-blocker prescriptions for anxiety have increased, but they aren’t NICE recommended and there are safety concerns 💊 Our paper reports the reasons why GPs believe that beta-blockers have a role to play in anxiety management @capcbristol @CizCG @DrKMTurner @BNSSGResearch
GPs report prescribing beta-blockers for anxiety because they consider them low risk, quicker than other treatments, and useful for managing associated physical symptoms doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2024.00… @ArcherCS_ @DrKMTurner @CizCG @capcbristol @BNSSGResearch #PrimaryCare #Anxiety
