Interactions between your drugs
bendroflumethiazide rauwolfia serpentina
Applies to: Flumezide (bendroflumethiazide / rauwolfia serpentina) and Flumezide (bendroflumethiazide / rauwolfia serpentina)
Before taking bendroflumethiazide, tell your doctor if you also use rauwolfia serpentina. You may need dose adjustments or special tests in order to safely take both medications together. The blood pressure lowering effects of this combination may be additive. You should take rauwolfia serpentina at bedtime and to notify your doctor if have dizziness or feel faint. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
bendroflumethiazide olodaterol
Applies to: Flumezide (bendroflumethiazide / rauwolfia serpentina) and olodaterol
Using bendroflumethiazide together with olodaterol may increase the risk of developing hypokalemia, or low blood potassium. In severe cases, hypokalemia can lead to muscle weakness, paralysis, breathing and swallowing difficulties (due to muscle paralysis), and irregular heart rhythm. The risk may exist even when olodaterol or similar medications are given by oral inhalation directly into the lungs, and more so if these products are overused. Do not exceed the dose and frequency of use recommended on the product label or prescribed by your doctor. Let your doctor know if you experience nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal cramping, confusion, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, numbness, tingling, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, and/or swelling in the legs or feet, as these may be symptoms of hypokalemia. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
