Don't know about a contraindication. Just be aware that with both meds you could really slow them down. We have pts on Cardizem gtts and po Lopressor.Supposedly cardizem is contraindicated of the pt is on metoprolol, which was one of the 12 or so meds she was on. I just don't remember the whole list.
I want to thank you all for responding, I am learning more and more the more y'all add to the discussion. Like I said, I'm just a basic with not even a year on the job.
