I am on low doses of atenolol 25 mg.for mild hypertension 145/95. I will need to take Larium (Melfoquine) for malaria prophylaxis for 8 weeks. Are there any reports of untoward cardiac reactions when these drugs are taken together? I had a period of PVC's lasting for 8 months at 250 PVC's per day. One year ago I went back into normal rhythm and do not have any except for an occasional one. Thanks for any answer..
