SERTRALINE HYDROCHLORIDE (in Zoloft) may interact with PROPRANOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE (in Inderal)
Although the cause of this potential interaction is not clearly understood, sertraline may increase the effect that propranolol has on the heart. This could cause the heart to beat at a slower rate than normal. Symptoms of this condition include dizziness, chest pain, and fainting. If sertraline and propranolol are taken together, your doctor may want to monitor you closely to make sure that your heart is functioning properly. If you are experiencing problems, your doctor may consider using an alternative to propranolol. Discuss this potential interaction with your healthcare provider at your next appointment, or sooner if you think you are having problems.
This interaction is poorly documented and is considered moderate in severity. |
