Possible Interaction: Potassium and Adrenergic Antagonists

“It has become more common in cardiovascular practice due to the growing … disease and the broad application of drugs that modulate renal elimination of potassium by reducing production of …, direct renin inhibitors, β-adrenergic receptor antagonists ), blocking angiotensin II receptors (angiotensin receptor blockers), … on mineralocorticoid receptors (mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists).”

“Both succinylcholine and a nonselective β-adrenergic blocker , propranolol, have the propensity to affect the transcellular redistribution of potassium which can result in hyperkalemia.”
