Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different sites that you can use such as drugs.com or medscape drug interaction checker.
If you place drug interactions into your search engine, these should come up as choices for you.
According to these sites , as you would see, there are a lot of possible interactions, some of them are listed here. According to medscape which is a doctor directed website these are the potentially serious ones: (1) amlodipine and cardizem-- the cardizem can increase the level or effect of the amlodipine, in some cases by up to 60% by affecting its breakdown
(2)clonidine and diltiazem can cause the heart to slow down, in some cases, significantly
(3)clonidine and metoprolol- either increases the toxicity of the other
(4)cardizem and metoprolol- these also interact to each increase the toxicity of the other
(5)metoprolol and exelon- metoprolol increases the toxicity of the exelon
(6)tramadol and hydrocodone
There are also other possible interactions between(1) sertraline and hydrocodone, (2)sertraline and metoprolol,
(3)sertraline and naproxen,
