Steady Tablets for Men

Feel steady when the moment matters.

Some situations can make your body react before your mind has a chance to catch up—racing heart, shaky hands, sweating, or that sudden feeling of nerves before an important moment.

Steady contains propranolol, a beta blocker that may help reduce some of the physical symptoms that can come with performance anxiety, helping you feel more composed when you're presenting, interviewing, performing, or stepping into another high-pressure situation.

What is Steady?
Steady is designed for people who experience noticeable physical symptoms of performance anxiety in specific situations. Rather than treating anxious thoughts directly, propranolol works primarily on some of the body's physical responses to adrenaline.

What can it help with?

Steady may help reduce physical symptoms such as:

• Racing or pounding heartbeat
• Shaky hands
• Sweating
• Physical feelings of nervousness
• Trembling or a shaky voice
• A noticeable adrenaline response

The goal: Help your body feel more steady so you can focus on the moment.

How does propranolol work?

When you're nervous, your body can release adrenaline, which can increase your heart rate and trigger other physical symptoms.

Propranolol is a beta blocker. It blocks the effects of certain stress hormones on the heart and blood vessels, which can decrease some of the physical symptoms associated with an adrenaline response.

Think of it as:
Pressure → adrenaline response → physical symptoms

Propranolol → helps calm the physical response

It does not work by directly changing anxious thoughts or emotions.

When might Steady be used?

Performance anxiety can show up in situations such as:

• Giving a presentation
• Speaking in front of a group
• Job interviews
• Public speaking
• Performing on stage
• Important meetings
• Other occasional high-pressure situations

Your healthcare provider can determine whether propranolol is appropriate for your particular situation and how it should be used.

What to expect

Everyone responds differently. Some people notice that their heart rate, shaking, sweating, or other physical symptoms feel less pronounced when propranolol is effective.

Steady isn't intended to make you feel sedated or change who you are. The goal is to reduce some of the physical effects of the body's stress response.

Is Steady right for you?

Steady may be worth discussing with a healthcare provider if you:

• Experience physical symptoms when you're under pressure
• Feel nervous primarily in specific performance situations
• Notice symptoms such as shaking, sweating, or a racing heart
• Want to feel more comfortable during occasional high-pressure moments

A provider will review your medical history, medications, blood pressure, heart rate, and other factors to determine whether propranolol is appropriate.

Important safety information

Propranolol is a prescription medication and isn't appropriate for everyone. It can lower heart rate and blood pressure and may cause dizziness, fatigue, or other side effects.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have asthma or other breathing problems, a slow heart rate, low blood pressure, certain heart conditions, diabetes, or circulation problems, or if you take other medications that affect blood pressure or heart rate.

Do not change how you take propranolol or stop regular propranolol therapy without guidance from your healthcare provider.

Common questions

Some people are prescribed propranolol for specific performance situations. Whether it is appropriate for you—and when you should take it—should be determined by your healthcare provider.

Possible side effects include tiredness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and a slower heart rate. Your provider can discuss the potential benefits and risks based on your individual health history.
