CDI records a minor classification for Isradipine and Propranolol.

Significant increases in AUC (27%) and C max (58%) and decreases in t max (23%) of propranolol were noted in this study. propranolol to healthy volunteers under steady-state conditions had no relevant effect on either drug’s bioavailability. Patients taking both medications should consult their healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing the dosage of either drug.

What To Tell Your Doctor or Pharmacist
If you are taking Isradipine and your doctor is considering prescribing Propranolol (or vice versa), make sure to:
- Inform your doctor and pharmacist of all current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements
- Ask whether the benefits of combining these medications outweigh the risks for your specific situation
- Ask what symptoms to watch for that would indicate the interaction is causing problems
- Never stop or change either medication without first consulting your healthcare provider
