Professional:

Limited data suggest that propranolol may increase the risk of maprotiline toxicity. The proposed mechanism is decreased hepatic blood flow by propranolol, resulting in reduction of maprotiline metabolism. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience excessive sedation, blurred vision, dry mouth, tremor, or ataxia. The dosage of maprotiline may need to be reduced if an interaction is suspected.
