Additive negative effects on SA or AV nodal conduction w/ cardiac glycosides, nondihydropyridine Ca channel blockers. Paradoxical response to epinephrine may occur. Increased plasma concentrations w/ CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. bupropion, cimetidine). Increased risk of hypotension and heart failure w/ myocardial depressant general anaesth (e.g. diethyl ether). Risk of pulmonary HTN w/ vasodilators (e.g. hydralazine) in uraemic patients. Reduced plasma levels w/ rifampicin. May increase negative inotropic and negative dromotropic effect of antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g. quinidine, amiodarone). May reduce antihypertensive efficacy w/ indometacin.
