Interacting Drugs

OBJECT DRUGS

Beta-blockers (CYP2D6 Substrates):

PRECIPITANT DRUGS

Comment:

Antidepressants that are inhibitors of CYP2D6 can increase the concentration of beta-blockers, potentially resulting in bradycardia, hypotension or heart failure. Rapid metabolizers of CYP2D6 (over 90% of the population) will be at the greatest risk.
