Zebeta Interactions

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

 

Combining Zebeta 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 Zebeta 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, Zebeta and a calcium channel blocker should not be combined.

 

Combining Zebeta 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, Zebeta should not be taken with an arrhythmia medication.

 

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

 

Combining Zebeta 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, Zebeta and digoxin should not be taken together.

 

NSAIDs may decrease the blood pressure-lowering effects of Zebeta. Talk with your healthcare provider about using NSAIDs and Zebeta together in your particular situation.

Zebeta is a beta blocker and should not be combined with other beta blockers, as this may increase the risk of serious side effects.
