Since the cold winter weather has raised my blood pressure to 144/92, is it safe to start taking my old blood pressure medicine, Prolomet XL 12.5, at the same time as my current heart rate medicine, Ivabrad 5 mg?

Asked by Male, 36 · 7 days ago

A reading of 144/92 is only mildly elevated, so please stay reassured. However, it is not safe to restart Prolomet XL (metoprolol) while taking Ivabrad (ivabradine) without consulting your doctor. Both medicines lower your heart rate, and combining them can cause your heart rate to drop too low, leading to dizziness or fatigue. Please contact your physician before making any changes. They can safely adjust your medication to bring your blood pressure back to a comfortable range.
