Interactions

Rhodiola may interact with ADRENERGIC BLOCKING AGENTS and ANTI-ARRHYTHMIC AGENTS.

Studies report that rhodiola may act in the body in a similar way, which may alter the effects of these medications and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Use with caution.

 

ADRENERGIC BLOCKING AGENTS

These drugs include atenolol, esmolol, betaxolol, penbutolol, carteolol, bisoprolol, pindolol, metoprolol, timolol, sotalol, acebutolol, nadolol, propranolol, labetalol, carvedilol, methyldopa, clonidine, guanfacine, guanabenz, brimonidine tartrate, dipiprazole, levobunolol, levobetaxolol, metipranolol.

 

ANTI-ARRHYTHMIC AGENTS

These drugs include amiodarone, bretylium tosylate, adenosine, dofetilide, propafenone, lidocaine, tocainide, flecainide, ibutilide fumarate, moricizine, quinidine, disopyramide, procainamide, mexiletine, verapamil, digoxin, propranolol, sotalol, esmolol, acebutolol.

Beta adrenergic blocking drugs: A class of drugs, also called beta blockers, that block beta-adrenergic substances such as adrenaline (epinephrine), a key agent in the “sympathetic” portion of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. By blocking the action of the sympathetic nervous system on the heart, these agents relieve stress on the heart. They slow the heart beat, lessen the force with which the heart muscle contracts and reduce blood vessel contraction in the heart, brain, and throughout the body.

Antiarrhythmic drugs are medicines that correct irregular heartbeats and slow down hearts that beat too fast.
