Solution

I. Beta blockers III. Tricyclic antidepressants

Beta blockers and tricyclic antidepressants can interact with epinephrine, potentially leading to dangerous increases in blood pressure and heart rate. Therefore, a reduced dose of epinephrine may be considered when using an epinephrine-containing local anesthetic solution in patients taking these medications. Immunosuppressants and loop diuretics do not have this interaction with epinephrine, so they are not included in the answer.
