Other medications and Carvedilol Teva-ratiopharm

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication. Other concomitant treatment may affect or be affected by carvedilol.

It isespecially importantthat your doctor knows if you are already being treated with:

  • Digoxinor digitoxin(for treating heart failure).
  • Insulinororal antidiabetic drugs(medications that reduce blood sugar) as the reduction in blood sugar may be increased and the symptoms of hypoglycemia may be masked.
  • Rifampicin(antibiotic used in the treatment of tuberculosis).
  • Carbamazepine(medication for treating epilepsy).
  • Fluconazole(medication for treating fungal infections).
  • Paroxetine, fluoxetine, bupropion(medications for treating depression).
  • Medications containingreserpine, guanitidine, methyldopa, guanfacine, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)(medications for treating depression and Parkinson's disease), as they may lead to a greater reduction in heart rate.
  • Ciclosporin or tacrolimus(medication for inhibiting the immune system, for preventing rejection after organ transplantation, also used for certain rheumatic or dermatological problems).
  • Medications for treating irregular heartbeats(e.g., verapamil, diltiazem, quinidine, amiodarone).
  • Clonidine(medication for reducing blood pressure).
  • Sympathomimetics(medications that increase the function of the sympathetic nervous system).
  • Medications used to treat respiratory problems (e.g.,salbutamol, formoterol).
  • Dihydropyridines(medications for treating high blood pressure and heart disease).
  • Other medications that reduce blood pressure. Carvedilol may potentiate the effect of other medications that reduce blood pressure taken concomitantly (e.g.,alpha-1 receptor antagonists, nitrates) and medications in which blood pressure reduction occurs as an adverse effect, for examplebarbiturates(in the treatment of epilepsy),phenothiazines(for treating psychosis),tricyclic antidepressants(for treating depression),vasodilators(medications that widen blood vessels).
  • Neuromuscular blockers(medications that reduce muscle tension).
  • Ergotamine(medication for migraines).
  • Anesthetics(medications used in anesthesia).
  • Determined analgesic tablets(NSAIDs),estrogens(hormones), andcorticosteroids(adrenal hormone), as they may reduce blood pressure, reducing the effect of Carvedilol Teva-ratiopharm.
  • Cinacalcet(medication used for treating parathyroid gland problems).

Carvedilol Teva-ratiopharm with food, drinks, and alcohol

Carvedilol should be avoided when taken at the same time or near grapefruit or grapefruit juice during the initiation of treatment. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may cause an increase in the amount of carvedilol in the blood and, possibly, unpredictable side effects.
