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.
