More Detail on Interactions With Coreg
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when any of the drugs mentioned above are combined with
Coreg.
Reserpine
When Coreg and reserpine are taken together, your
blood pressure may decrease too much or your heart rate may slow dramatically. This can cause symptoms such as:
- A spinning sensation (vertigo)

- Fainting.
Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your situation more closely and/or adjust your dose of these medicines, depending on your particular situation.
Clonidine
If you are taking Coreg with clonidine but then stop using the clonidine, your blood pressure may increase dramatically. Make sure to ask your healthcare provider how these medicines can be stopped safely.
Amiodarone
If you are taking Coreg and amiodarone together, your body may metabolize Coreg differently than intended. This can cause an increased level of Coreg in your body. When using these medicines together, your healthcare provider may choose to monitor you more closely and/or adjust your
Coreg dosage if needed.
Cimetidine
If Coreg and
cimetidine are taken together, your body may metabolize Coreg differently than intended. This can cause an increased level of Coreg in your body. If you are taking both of these medicines, your healthcare provider may choose to monitor you more closely and/or adjust your Coreg dose if needed, depending on your particular situation.
Fluoxetine
When Coreg and
fluoxetine are combined, your body may metabolize Coreg differently than intended. This can cause an increased level of Coreg in your body. Thus, when using these medicines together, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and/or adjust your Coreg dose if needed.
