Posted on Sat, 14 Feb 2015
Question: Last night - 2:30 am -- I took a dose of Tambocor -- 2 x 100 mg -- to relieve an episode of A fib.
The famous 'pill in a pocket approach.'
The episode resolved after about 90 minutes.
I am scheduled to take my regular morning dose of Metroprolol -- 1 x 100 mg extended release.
Is it safe to mix the two medications?
It's a question I forgot to ask at the doctor's office.
