Ultimo aggiornamento

Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Sintesi

Atenolol blocks the beta effects of epinephrine, leaving alpha-mediated vasoconstriction unopposed, which can cause marked hypertension with reflex bradycardia. Beta-blockers may also reduce the effectiveness of epinephrine in anaphylaxis. Chlorthalidone-induced hypokalemia may add to arrhythmia risk.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Atenolol-chlorthalidone and Epinephrine can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Atenolol-chlorthalidone belongs to Cardiovascular; Epinephrine belongs to Endocrine.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Beta-1 blockade by atenolol antagonizes epinephrine's cardiac and bronchodilator effects while unopposed alpha stimulation increases vascular resistance.

Cosa fare

Monitor blood pressure and heart rate when epinephrine is given. In anaphylaxis unresponsive to epinephrine in a beta-blocked patient, consider glucagon.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista
