Table 1.
Drugs that may interact with adrenaline.
| Drug | Interaction |
|---|---|
| Anti-psychotics | May antagonize hypertensive effects of adrenaline |
| Beta-blockers (including eye drops) | (1) Reduce efficacy of adrenaline (2) Unopposed alpha-receptor stimulation can lead to bronchoconstriction, bradycardia and severe hypertension |
| Clonidine | Possible risk of hypertension |
| Dopaminergics (entacapone and rasagiline) | Possibly enhance effects of adrenaline |
| Ergotamine and methysergide | Increased risk of ergot poisoning |
| Linezolid | Linezolid is a reversible, non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitor, see below |
| Monoamine-oxidase inhibitors (both MAO-A and MAO-B) | Increased risk of arrhythmias and hypertension (may cause hypertensive crisis) |
| Tricyclic anti-depressant | Increased risk of arrhythmias and hypertension |
