- glucagon
Interactions between your drugs
glucagon carvedilol
Applies to: glucagon, Coreg (carvedilol)
Beta-blockers may blunt the hyperglycemic reaction to glucagon by interfering with beta-adrenergic-mediated hyperglycemic counter-regulatory mechanisms. In addition, glucagon may diminish the bradycardic effect of beta-blockers by inducing a transient increase in pulse and blood pressure. Patients with coronary artery disease may require treatment for the potential increase in blood pressure and heart rate.
