Drug Interactions With Propranolol

It's important to know that propranolol drug interactions can cause your body to metabolize certain medications differently and increase your risk of a very low heart rate or heart failure, among other things. Phenobarbital, disopyramide, fluvoxamine, and lidocaine are a few of the medications that can potentially interfere with propranolol. If drug interactions are a concern, your healthcare provider may monitor your situation more closely or adjust your dosages.
