Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

doxepin topical levalbuterol

Applies to: Prudoxin (doxepin topical) and Xopenex (levalbuterol)

MONITOR: Concomitant use of beta-2 adrenergic agonists with tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) may increase the risk and/or severity of cardiovascular adverse effects such as hypertension, palpitation, chest pain, and arrhythmia. In addition, both classes of drugs have been reported to produce electrocardiographic changes including flattening of the T wave and prolongation of the QTc interval, and these effects may be additive during coadministration.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if beta-2 agonists are used with TCAs, or within two weeks of discontinuing the latter. Cardiovascular status should be closely monitored.
