Beta
Blockers and Bananas; a Bad Blend
Beta-blockers can cause blood levels of potassium to increase. Potassium is very healthy
in normal amounts, but dangerous when too much is consumed. Do not take any supplements containing potassium while on
beta-blockers, and get your potassium levels checked regularly.
Eat the following high potassium foods
only in moderation:
bananas, citrus juices, avocados, cantaloupe,
tomatoes, potatoes, lima beans, flounder, salmon, cod, chicken, and meat.
