**(Single Dose)**
**Time**
|Arm 1
60 mg
9 AM (+ 30 min)
|Arm 2
30 mg twice
9 AM and 3 PM (+ 30 min)

6 PM (+ 30 min)
The urine sample will be collected during the study in the following manner;
- From 10AM until 10 PM on Day -1 “Day -1 (One day before Dosing of Propranolol), Daytime Urineâ€
- From 10 PM on Day -1 until 10 AM on Day 0 (Dosing day), “Day -1, Nocturnal Urineâ€
- From 10 AM on Day 0 until 10 PM on Day 0 “Day 0, Daytime Urineâ€
- From 10 PM on Day 0 until 10 AM on Day 1 (Check-out Day), “Day 1, Nocturnal Urineâ€
The volunteers will be discharged 24 hrs after dose administration of single dose of Propranolol
This study will be conducted in 2 stages. In stage I, total 15 eligible volunteers will be admitted and dosed. After interim analysis of melatonin level in urine of 15 volunteers, next Stage II, will be initiated, where 30 eligible volunteers will be admitted and rest of the study procedures will be same as done for 15 volunteers
