Levatol Interactions

The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when Levatol is combined with any of the drugs listed above.

 

Drinking alcohol while taking Levatol may cause coordination difficulties or other problems. Be sure to ask your healthcare provider if you may drink alcohol while taking this medication.

 

Combining Levatol with an alpha blocker can increase the risk of dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension). Check with your healthcare provider before taking such medications together.

 

Taking Levatol with certain calcium channel blockers may cause dangerously low blood pressure and, for verapamil or diltiazem, a slow heart rate (bradycardia) and heart failure. You may need to be monitored closely if you take these medications together. In some cases, Levatol and a calcium channel blocker should not be combined.

 

Combining Levatol with certain arrhythmia medications may cause a dangerously slow heart rate (bradycardia). You may need to be monitored closely if you take these medications together. In some cases, Levatol should not be taken with an arrhythmia medication.

 

If you take both clonidine and Levatol, stopping clonidine (without stopping the Levatol) could increase the risk of dangerously high blood pressure, strokes, and other serious problems. People are generally advised to stop taking Levatol several days before gradually reducing the dose of clonidine. Do not attempt this without the approval and supervision of your healthcare provider.

 

Combining Levatol with digoxin may cause a dangerously slow heart rate (bradycardia). You may need to be monitored closely if you take these medications together. In some cases, Levatol and digoxin should not be combined.
