Consumer:Before starting fenoldopam, let your doctor know if you are currently receiving treatment with metoprolol. Combining these medications can cause your blood pressure to drop too much. While fenoldopam alone can occasionally cause excessively low blood pressure, medications like metoprolol can blunt the body's normal response to keep the blood pressure from getting too low, such as by increasing heart rate. You will need to be closely monitored by your doctor if these medications must be used together. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:GENERALLY AVOID: The use of fenoldopam in combination with beta-blockers has not been studied. Theoretically, beta-blockers may potentiate the risk of severe, symptomatic hypotension by inhibiting the sympathetic reflex response to fenoldopam-induced blood pressure decreases.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of fenoldopam with beta-blockers should be avoided if possible.
