Title: atenanol and verapamil
Post by schaan on Nov 21^st, 2007, 8:18pm

i take atenenol and the pharmacist told me that verapamil in conjunction with atenenol can cause severe low bp?

anyone else had a problem?

just started verapamil today and havent noticed anything as of yet, but ????

i might have a bp checker given to me tommorow so i can monitor,

I'm no doc, but i know they both can cause a drop in blood pressure. Might wanna keep a REAL close eye on it!!

Best wishes,
Adam

both have the same function-like taking two anti-depressants, or two triptans. Hmmmm...what dosage of verap? Many here are at 960mg or more a day.

best wishes for a PFDAN

Clearly, one of those issues requiring your doc's attention and advice. I suspect that you could drop the aten., start the verap, while monitoring you BP.

But first sentence is the core.
