Iodine should not be given to cases of active Tuberculosis, or those known to be sensitive to iodine, and discontinued in cases later developing a sensitivity to the iodine therapy.

VESICATION AND DESQUAMATION MAY OCCUR IF ALLOWED TO POOL IN CONTACT WITH THE SKIN. EXCESS IODINE SHOULD BE REMOVED WITH ALCOHOL TO PREVENT "IODINE BURNS."

Iodine should not be given to cases of active Tuberculosis, or those known to be sensitive to iodine, and discontinued in cases later developing a sensitivity to the iodine therapy.

Catecholamine-depleting drugs (e.g., reserpine) may have an additive effect when given with beta-blocking agents. Patients treated with atenolol plus a catecholamine depletor should therefore be closely observed for evidence of hypotension and/or marked bradycardia which may produce vertigo, syncope, or postural hypotension.

Calcium channel blockers may also have an additive effect when given with atenolol (see ).

Disopyramide is a Type I antiarrhythmic drug with potent negative inotropic and chronotropic effects. Disopyramide has been associated with severe bradycardia, asystole and heart failure when administered with beta blockers.

Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic agent with negative chronotropic properties that may be additive to those seen with beta blockers.

Beta blockers may exacerbate the rebound hypertension which can follow the withdrawal of clonidine. If the two drugs are coadministered, the beta blocker should be withdrawn several days before the gradual withdrawal of clonidine. If replacing clonidine by beta-blocker therapy, the introduction of beta blockers should be delayed for several days after clonidine administration has stopped.

Concomitant use of prostaglandin synthase inhibiting drugs, e.g., indomethacin, may decrease the hypotensive effects of beta blockers.

Information on concurrent usage of atenolol and aspirin is limited. Data from several studies, i.e., TIMI-II, ISIS-2, currently do not suggest any clinical interaction between aspirin and beta blockers in the acute myocardial infarction setting.

While taking beta blockers, patients with a history of anaphylactic reaction to a variety of allergens may have a more severe reaction on repeated challenge, either accidental, diagnostic or therapeutic. Such patients may be unresponsive to the usual doses of epinephrine used to treat the allergic reaction.

Both digitalis glycosides and beta-blockers slow atrioventricular conduction and decrease heart rate. Concomitant use can increase the risk of bradycardia.

Iodine therapy does not completly control the manifestations of hyperthyroidism in that after a variable period of time, the beneficial effects wear off. With continue administration of iodine, the hyperthyroidism may return in its initial intensity or may become even more severe than it was at first. Measurements of the protein bound iodine or of the uptake of radioiodine are rendered useless if iodine is given. Average dosage of iodine may cause skin rash. Iodine readily crosses the placental barrier and may affect the fetus. Prolonged therapy may cause iodism. The ingestion of large quantities of iodine may casue abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarhea.
