Moderate

propylthiouracil carvedilol

Applies to: propylthiouracil, carvedilol

MONITOR: The clearance of some beta-blockers with high extraction ratios may be reduced when a euthyroid state is achieved after the addition of antithyroid agents. Sotalol, nadolol, carteolol, and atenolol, which are primarily eliminated by the kidney, do not appear to be affected by changes in thyroid function.

MANAGEMENT: The patient should be closely monitored for altered efficacy and safety while achieving a euthyroid state or when the antithyroid agent dosage is added, discontinued, or changed. Beta blocker dose reductions may be required.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
