My boyfriend has no previous history of hypertension or angina, last week he presented hives presumably related to stress.He was prescribed Loratadine and Propanolol, but l just do not understand why the Propanolol.He is allergic to aspirin and penicylin, l am afraid he might get even worse with an additional ingredient to the mix.
Plus he also prescribed another antihystaminic, chlorpheniramine at the same time
Thank you for your answer, yes, it relieves and helps me to know this

Is it normal for a dermatologist to prescribe a Beta Blocker and antihistamine medication at the same time

Its darned near impossible to second guess a treatment plan without knowning all of the details.

That said, these two medications are a common treatment for a condition called cholenergic urticaria. Blood pressure or angina are not the only reasons someone might perscribe a beta blocker.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
