Para-Time S. R. Disease Interactions

There are 2 disease interactions with Para-Time S. R. (papaverine).

Major

Papaverine derivatives (applies to Para-Time S. R.) complete AV heart block

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility.

The use of papaverine and papaverine derivatives is contraindicated in patients with complete AV heart block. When conduction is depressed, these agents can induce transient ectopic rhythms of ventricular origin, either premature beats or paroxysmal tachycardia. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients with conduction disturbances, including sinus bradyarrhythmia and partial or first-degree AV block.
