aspirin amLODIPine

Applies to: aspirin / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine and amlodipine / benazepril

MONITOR: Limited data indicate that some cyclooxygenase inhibitors may attenuate the antihypertensive effects of some calcium channel blockers. The mechanism appears to be related to an alteration of vascular tone, which is dependent on prostacyclins and other vasodilatory prostanoids. When a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is added to the regimen of a patient who is already taking a calcium channel blocker, increased blood pressure may result. Also, the clinician should be aware that the risk of hypotension is increased when NSAIDs are withdrawn from the regimen.

MANAGEMENT: Monitoring for altered blood pressure control is recommended.

aspirin benazepril

Applies to: aspirin / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine and amlodipine / benazepril

MONITOR: Some investigators suggest that coadministration with aspirin may attenuate the vasodilator and hypotensive effects of ACE inhibitors. In addition, some have found that the benefits of ACE inhibitors on morbidity and mortality in post-acute myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, and particularly congestive heart failure may be compromised or even nullified by aspirin. The proposed mechanism is aspirin inhibition of cyclooxygenase, resulting in suppression of prostaglandin synthesis and prostaglandin-mediated hemodynamic effects of ACE inhibitors. However, evidence of a negative interaction is largely contradictory, and interpretation of relevant data has often been complicated by multiple confounding elements as well as the retrospective or post hoc nature of most studies. Available data seem to indicate that low-dose aspirin (less than 236 mg/day, and especially less than 100 mg/day) is unlikely, or at least significantly less likely, to interfere with ACE inhibitor effects, although susceptibility to the interaction may be subject to some degree of interpatient variability.

MANAGEMENT: Based on current data, it is difficult to determine the likelihood of a negative interaction between aspirin and ACE inhibitors and its clinical relevance during long-term therapy, particularly in congestive heart failure. Current recommendations generally do not preclude combination use in patients with cardiovascular diseases or risk factors that might otherwise benefit from the drugs independently. However, patients receiving long-term therapy with the combination should undergo regular blood pressure and other appropriate clinical monitoring such as renal function assessments. The lowest therapeutic dosage of aspirin should be used.

amLODIPine benazepril

Applies to: amlodipine / benazepril and amlodipine / benazepril

Calcium channel blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may have additive hypotensive effects. While these drugs are often safely used together, careful monitoring of the systemic blood pressure is recommended during coadministration, especially during the first one to three weeks of therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

chlorpheniramine food

Applies to: aspirin / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

benazepril food

Applies to: amlodipine / benazepril

GENERALLY AVOID: Moderate-to-high dietary intake of potassium can cause hyperkalemia in some patients who are using angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. In some cases, affected patients were using a potassium-rich salt substitute. ACE inhibitors can promote hyperkalemia through inhibition of the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin (RAA) system.

MANAGEMENT: It is recommended that patients who are taking ACE inhibitors be advised to avoid moderately high or high potassium dietary intake. Particular attention should be paid to the potassium content of salt substitutes.

aspirin food

Applies to: aspirin / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.

amLODIPine food

Applies to: amlodipine / benazepril

MONITOR: Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation. Coadministration with antihypertensives and other hypotensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Some authorities recommend avoiding alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.

MONITOR: Calcium-containing products may decrease the effectiveness of calcium channel blockers by saturating calcium channels with calcium. Calcium chloride has been used to manage acute severe verapamil toxicity.

MANAGEMENT: Management consists of monitoring the effectiveness of calcium channel blocker therapy during coadministration with calcium products.

phenylephrine food

Applies to: aspirin / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine

MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.

The consumption of grapefruit juice may slightly increase plasma concentrations of amlodipine. The mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Data have been conflicting and the clinical significance is unknown. Monitoring for calcium channel blocker adverse effects (e.g., headache, hypotension, syncope, tachycardia, edema) is recommended.

One study has reported that coadministration of caffeine and aspirin lead to a 25% increase in the rate of appearance and 17% increase in maximum concentration of salicylate in the plasma. A significantly higher area under the plasma concentration time curve of salicylate was also reported when both drugs were administered together. The exact mechanism of this interaction has not been specified. Physicians and patients should be aware that coadministration of aspirin and caffeine may lead to higher salicylate levels faster.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
