Olodaterol/tiotropium Disease Interactions

There are 11 disease interactions with olodaterol / tiotropium.

Major

Olodaterol (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) asthma

Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Long acting beta- 2 adrenergic antagonists (LABA) increase the risk of asthma related death. Olodaterol inhalation spray is not indicated to treat asthma.

Moderate

Beta 2 adrenergic agonists (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) hepatic impairment

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Liver Disease

Some long acting beta- 2 adrenergic agonists (LABA) such as arformoterol and olodaterol should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment due to increased systemic exposure.

Moderate

Beta- 2 adrenergic bronchodilators (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) cardiovascular

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Heart Disease, Hypertension, Hyperthyroidism

Adrenergic bronchodilators can stimulate cardiovascular beta- 1 and beta- 2 receptors, resulting in adverse effects such as tachycardia, palpitation, peripheral vasodilation, blood pressure changes, and ECG changes (e.g., flattening of the T wave; prolongation of the QT interval; ST segment depression). Direct stimulation of cardiac tissues is mediated by beta- 1 receptors and thus less likely to occur with beta-2-selective agents such as albuterol. However, beta-2-selectivity is not absolute and can be lost with larger doses. High dosages of these agents have been associated with precipitation or aggravation of angina, myocardial ischemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, and/or underlying cardiovascular disorders such as coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, or hypertension. The recommended dosages should not be exceeded.

Moderate

Beta- 2 adrenergic bronchodilators (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) diabetes

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Diabetes Mellitus

Adrenergic bronchodilators may cause increases in blood glucose concentrations. These effects are usually transient and slight, but may be significant with dosages higher than those normally recommended. Large doses of IV albuterol (not commercially available in the U.S.) and terbutaline sulfate have been reported to cause exacerbation of preexisting diabetes mellitus and ketoacidosis. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus. Closer monitoring of blood glucose concentrations may be appropriate. Systemic adverse effects are minimized, but not abolished, by administration of these agents via oral inhalation.

Moderate

Beta- 2 adrenergic bronchodilators (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) hypokalemia

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Adrenergic bronchodilators may cause decreases in serum potassium concentrations, primarily when given by nebulization or intravenous administration. Although this effect is usually transient and does not require supplementation, clinically significant hypokalemia may occur in some patients, with the potential to induce cardiovascular adverse effects. The relevance of these observations to oral or oral aerosol/powder for inhalation therapy is unknown. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to hypokalemia.

Moderate

Beta- 2 adrenergic bronchodilators (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) seizures

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Adrenergic bronchodilators may cause CNS stimulation. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with seizure disorders. Systemic adverse effects are minimized, but not abolished, by administration of these agents via oral inhalation.

Moderate

Inhaled anticholinergic agents (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) angioedema

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Angioedema has been reported during therapy with inhaled anticholinergic agents. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients at risk of developing angioedema and if such reaction occurs during treatment, therapy should be stopped at once and alternative treatments should be considered. In addition, therapy with Spiriva HandiHaler should be used with caution in patients with severe hypersensitivity to milk proteins as the product contains the inactive ingredient, lactose monohydrate.

Moderate

Inhaled anticholinergic agents (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) anticholinergic effects

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Urinary Retention, Glaucoma (Narrow Angle)

Aclidinium, ipratropium, umeclidinium, and tiotropium are anticholinergic agents. Although systemic effects are uncommon due to the poor absorption of quaternary ammonium compounds from gastrointestinal and nasal mucosa, worsening of urinary retention or angle-closure glaucoma has been reported. Increased intraocular pressure and precipitation or exacerbation of angle-closure glaucoma may also occur due to inadvertent contact of the eye with aerosolized or nebulized drug. Accordingly, therapy with quaternary ammonium compounds should be administered cautiously in patients with urinary retention/obstruction or angle-closure glaucoma. Measures should be taken whenever possible to minimize ocular exposure to these drugs, such as keeping eyes closed during oral inhalation or use of a mouthpiece rather than face mask during nebulization. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience urinary difficulty (especially in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder neck obstruction); or signs and symptoms of angle-closure glaucoma (e.g., eye pain or discomfort; blurred vision; visual halos; colored images in association with red eyes from conjunctival congestion or corneal edema).

Moderate

Inhaled anticholinergic agents (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) tachycardia

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Arrhythmias

Cases of supraventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation have been reported with the use of inhaled anticholinergic agents in patients with COPD/Asthma. Care and monitoring of cardiac function is recommended when prescribing these agents to patients at risk.

Moderate

Tiotropium (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) liver

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Liver Disease

The effects of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of tiotropium have not been studied. Caution is recommended when prescribing this agent to patients with impaired liver function.

Moderate

Tiotropium (applies to olodaterol/tiotropium) renal dysfunction

Moderate Potential Hazard, Low plausibility.

Tiotropium is primarily eliminated unchanged by the kidney. Renal impairment has been associated with increased plasma drug concentrations and reduced drug clearance after both intravenous infusion and dry powder inhalation. Mild renal impairment (CrCl 50 to 80 mL/min), which is often seen in elderly patients, increased tiotropium systemic exposure (AUC) by 39% following intravenous infusion. In COPD patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (CrCl < or equals to 50 mL/min), tiotropium AUC increased 82% following intravenous administration, which was confirmed by plasma concentrations after dry powder inhalation. Although generally well tolerated, therapy with ipratropium should be administered cautiously in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment. Monitoring for renal function is recommended. Patients should be advised of and monitored for potentially increased systemic adverse effects such urinary retention.

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.
