Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
NSAIDs may decrease the
blood pressure-lowering effects of
carvedilol. Talk to your healthcare provider about using NSAIDs and carvedilol together in your particular situation.
Diabetes Medicines
Taking certain types of
diabetes medicines with carvedilol may increase the effects of the diabetes medicine, causing blood sugar levels to drop too low (hypoglycemia). If this happens, your healthcare provider may adjust your dosages and/or monitor you more closely.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
When taking carvedilol and a monoamine oxidase inhibitor together, your blood pressure may decrease too much. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your situation more closely and/or adjust your dose of these medicines to prevent this interaction from occurring.
Rifampin
If carvedilol and rifampin are taken together, your body may metabolize carvedilol differently than intended. This can cause a decreased level of the medication in your blood. When using these medicines together, your healthcare provider may choose to monitor you more closely and/or adjust your carvedilol dose, depending on your particular situation.
Digoxin
If carvedilol and digoxin are combined, your body may metabolize these medicines differently than intended. This can cause an increased level of digoxin in your blood. Your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and/or adjust your digoxin dose to prevent this interaction from occurring.
