Beta Blockers with Melfoquine

Posted By Jim on March 25, 1998 at 16:14:45:







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..
