May improve arrhythmia control in alcohol withdrawal; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does the combination of propranolol and chlordiazepoxide improve the control of cardiac arrhythmias in patients during alcohol withdrawal?
The combination of propranolol and chlordiazepoxide is more effective than either agent alone for controlling cardiac arrhythmias during early alcohol withdrawal, avoiding the hallucinations associated with propranolol monotherapy.
