There is something strange about the propranolol dosage mentioned[edit]

It says he gave them 3 mg propranolol IV to kill them but the lethal dose must be much much higher, probably in the hundreds since the typical oral dose range is 100-300 mg. It doesn't make sense? Maybe he used something else or the dosage is not correctly translated? 87.59.77.234 (talk) 23:28, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi, I did the ref for that bit and was also surprised by the discrepancy when I checked the propranolol article. I kept it since the ref was from a well-written article - in Russian. The only explanation that comes to mind is that this 3mg is for intravenous injections, whereas the oral dose is - well, oral and perhaps more can be tolerated. I agree though that something is strange, but with the available sources this is all I can think of in way of explanation. Malick78 (talk) 09:26, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • After a little research, I've found two different articles that say Petrov used a cocktail of drugs to make his injections more lethal. See here and here (articles in Russian). They seem reliable - perhaps the first source for the propranolol was oversimplifying things... Malick78 (talk) 12:01, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
