Consumer:

Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Professional:

Some oral beta-blockers may decrease the clearance and increase the serum half-life of procainamide. Increased procainamide half-life and/or serum levels may result. The mechanism and clinical significance of this effect are unknown. Data are available for metoprolol and propranolol only and have been conflicting. If procainamide levels are elevated, reduction either of the beta-blocker dosage or of the procainamide dosage may be considered.
