Patients taking nonselective beta blockers may have an increased risk of hyperkalemia or hypoglycemia. Therefore, limiting the dose of vasoconstrictor is necessary to avoid adverse events. Both limiting epinephrine to 0.04 mg per appointment and limiting levonordefrin to 0.2 mg per appointment are recommended guidelines to follow.
