First Visit

Other medications which may possibly interfere with skin testing are tricyclic antidepressants such as doxepin (Sinequan), desipramine (Norpramin), imipramine (Tofranil) and amitriptyline. If you are taking any of these medications, the allergist should be notified before your clinic visit, and you should not discontinue use of this medication without discussing it with medical personnel at our office. Also tell the allergist if you are taking any “beta-blocker” medications including propranolol (Inderal, Inderide, InnoPranXL), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol-XL), atenolol (Tenormin, Tenoretic), betoxolol (Betopic, Kerlone eye drops), acebutol (Sectral), pindolol (Visken), timolol (Betimol, Blocadren, Timolide, Timoptic), labetalol (Normodyne, Trandate), nadolol (Corgard, Corzide) or other beta-blocker medicine. Again, do not stop taking this medication before discussing it with medical personnel at our office.
