Medical Diagnosis and Drugs, Medications
Entacapone potentiated the increase in heart rate and arrhythmogenic effects of isoprenaline (isoproterenol) and adrenaline (epinephrine) in a study in healthy subjects.
The manufacturers of entacapone and tolcapone suggest caution on the concur- rent use of drugs such as adrenaline (epinephrine), dobutamine, dopamine, isoprenaline (isoproterenol) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine).
