Additive effects with Ca channel blockers (e.g. verapamil, diltiazem) and catecholamine-depleting agents (e.g. reserpine). May increase atrioventricular conduction time with digitalis glycosides. May aggravate rebound hypertension following clonidine withdrawal. Class I anti-arrhythmic drugs (e.g. disopyramide) and amiodarone may potentiate effects on atrial-conduction time and induce negative inotropic effect. May increases hypoglycaemic effects of insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs. Decreased hypotensive effects with concomitant use of NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen, indometacin). May increases risk of hypotension and attenuates reflex tachycardia with anaesthetic drugs.
