Is it dangerous to mix Lidocaine and Metoprolol?

September 25, 2010
Asked By:sueinge in tampa

I had a full tummy tuck and lipo in April 2010 and I have some areas on my hips that are kind of lumpy looking so my PS offered to do in-office lipo on those areas using lidocaine. I am on metoprolol (25 mg daily). Is this dangerous to mix the two in an office setting? I have had 2 c-sections but obviously they were in a hospital and my BP was monitored closely. Thanks!
