Consumer:If you are currently being treated with methylphenidate, you should talk to your doctor before undergoing surgery where isoflurane may be used. Combining these medications may increase the risk of high blood pressure and irregular heart beat during surgery. 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.
