What Are Propranolol And Xanax Prescribed?
Question: My doctor prescribed me propranolol and Xanax to take today after finding out that I have been taking too much thyroid medication and my hr was 137. I normally take paroxetine as well for panic and anxiety. I read in the patient information from the pharmacy that there are drug interactions with taking propranolol and paxil. So I took 10 MGS of propranolol at 700 PM and then took my paroxetine at 1145 PM. Is this OK?
Brief Answer:
Yes, there may be interactions:
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
Yes, there may be a drug interaction between paroxetine and propranolol. In these cases is recommended to take them separately, propranolol in the morning and paroxetine in the evening.
You have to monitor closely the heart rate, because there are some reports of bradychardia while taking SSRI and betablockers.
Hope i have answered your query.
Kind regards,
