Question : I took metoprolol tartrate 50 about 6 pm this evening and I took ranitidine abot 15 minutes ago should I be worried I just saw online that there is an interaction between the two.
Brief Answer:
Considerations
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
I understand that you're concerned about a medication interaction between metoprolol and ranitidine. On further review I do not see any significant or dangerous interaction with simultaneous use of these medications.
these medications can both be safely taken at the same time without any major interaction or toxicity.
Sometimes we worry that certain medications may increase or decrease therapeutic effectiveness of other medications when taken at the same time. In this case however this is not a concern.
Thank you again for sending your question.
