DENVER—Musicians suffering from stage fright can now cool it down by simply popping a little pill.
Thorazine? Cyanide? Dexatrim? No, it’s propranolol, a drug commonly used for heart ailments. Dr. Charles Brantigan here at Presbyterian Hospital has found it to have a calming effect on tense rockers whose sneaks are overflowing with the brew of panic.
