I picked up all the new prescriptions from the podiatrist. There was one pill and two ointments. The pill is terbinafine which is generic for Lamisil. I was right though. The pharmacist asked me to check with my doctors again if taking both together is okay since an interaction will cause my heart beat to slow down a lot. So I sent out a bunch of messages in the various medical portals.
Most of the Google searches comes back with Metoprolol Succinate ER which is a different drug than what I’m taking, Metoprolol Tartate. Don’t know if they have different drug interactions.

I sent messages to my nephrologist, cardiologist, and podiatrist at around 2:00 pm. Only my nephrologist returned my message. She is awesome. Did I mention before that she was the one that persuaded me to go to the ER prior to my heart surgery? Anyway, she thinks the terbinafine is okay but I should keep close tabs on my pulse to make sure it doesn’t drop. I’m at about 63 resting pulse now so there’s not much room to decrease before I have bradycardia.
