When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of propafenone is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled congestive heart failure, cardiogenic shock, bradycardia, or marked hypotension. Propafenone can exacerbate congestive heart failure by beta blockade of sympathetic stimulation necessary for circulatory support. Propafenone also has negative inotropic activity that can depress cardiac output and cardiac index.
