What are the problems when taking suboxone and metoprolol?

Hey mermaid,

I checked your drugs with the interaction checker and this is what it showed:

metoprolol ↔ buprenorphine
Applies to: metoprolol, Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone)

MONITOR: Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation. Coadministration with antihypertensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised during coadministration of these agents. Close monitoring for development of hypotension is recommended. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.

Other drugs that your selected drugs interact with
•metoprolol interacts with more than 400 other drugs.
•Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) interacts with more than 400 other drugs.
Interactions between your selected drugs and food
metoprolol ↔ food
Applies to: metoprolol

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The bioavailability of metoprolol may be enhanced by food.

MANAGEMENT: Patients may be instructed to take metoprolol at the same time each day, preferably with or immediately following meals.

Hope this helps,

Laurie
