Can you take Aldex D with Landiolol?

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Acidosis.

Hyperkalemic renal tubular acidosis may occur in patients with metabolic acidosis receiving landiolol; beta-blockers have been reported to cause this condition. Acidosis in general may be associated with reduced cardiac contractility.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Allergies.

When using beta-blockers (like landiolol), patients at risk of anaphylactic reactions may be more reactive to allergen exposure (accidental, diagnostic, or therapeutic). Patients using beta-blockers may be unresponsive to the usual doses of epinephrine used to treat anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions.

The pyrilamine in Aldex D has a moderate potential interaction with Asthma.

It has been suggested that the anticholinergic effect of antihistamines may reduce the volume and cause thickening of bronchial secretions, resulting in obstruction of respiratory tract. Some manufacturers and clinicians recommend that therapy with antihistamines be administered cautiously in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Asthma.

Patients with reactive airways disease should generally not receive beta-blockers (like landiolol). Because of the relative beta-1 selectivity and titratability, landiolol may be titrated to the lowest possible effective dose. If bronchospasm occurs, the infusion should be stopped immediately; a beta-2 stimulating agent may be administered with appropriate monitoring of ventricular rates.

The phenylephrine in Aldex D has a moderate potential interaction with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause or worsen urinary difficulty in patients with prostate enlargement due to smooth muscle contraction in the bladder neck via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertrophy or neoplasm of the prostate.

Landiolol has a major potential interaction with Cardiogenic Shock.

Landiolol is contraindicated in patients with cardiogenic shock as it may precipitate further cardiovascular collapse and cause cardiac arrest.

The phenylephrine in Aldex D has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause adverse cardiovascular effects, particularly when used in high dosages and/or in susceptible patients. In cardiac tissues, these agents may produce positive chronotropic and inotropic effects via stimulation of beta- 1 adrenergic receptors. Cardiac output, oxygen consumption, and the work of the heart may be increased. In the peripheral vasculature, vasoconstriction may occur via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, hypertension, reflex bradycardia, coronary occlusion, cerebral vasculitis, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and death have been reported. Some of these agents, particularly ephedra alkaloids (ephedrine, ma huang, phenylpropanolamine), may also predispose patients to hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should generally be avoided or administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, or underlying cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders. These agents should not be used in patients with severe coronary artery disease or severe/uncontrolled hypertension.

The pyrilamine in Aldex D has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Antihistamines may infrequently cause cardiovascular adverse effects related to their anticholinergic and local anesthetic (quinidine-like) activities. Tachycardia, palpitation, ECG changes, arrhythmias, hypotension, and hypertension have been reported. Although these effects are uncommon and usually limited to overdosage situations, the manufacturers and some clinicians recommend that therapy with antihistamines be administered cautiously in patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and/or hyperthyroidism.

Some manufacturers and clinicians recommend that therapy with antihistamines be administered cautiously in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with COPD.

Patients with reactive airways disease should generally not receive beta-blockers (like landiolol). Because of the relative beta-1 selectivity and titratability, landiolol may be titrated to the lowest possible effective dose. If bronchospasm occurs, the infusion should be stopped immediately; a beta-2 stimulating agent may be administered with appropriate monitoring of ventricular rates.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Dehydration.

Patients with hemodynamic compromise, hypovolemia, or on interacting medications are at increased risk of hypotension while taking landiolol. Blood pressure should be monitored closely, especially if pretreatment blood pressure was low. Landiolol should be reduced or stopped for hypotension; the blood pressure effect should wane within 30 minutes.

The pyrilamine in Aldex D has a major potential interaction with Depression.

A variety of abnormal thinking and behavior changes have been reported to occur in association with the use of most anxiolytics, sedatives and hypnotics. Some of these changes include decreased inhibition, aggressiveness, agitation, and hallucinations. These drugs can cause or exacerbate mental depression and cause suicidal behavior and ideation. Therapy with these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of depression or other psychiatric disorders. Patients should be monitored for any changes in mood or behavior. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients.

The phenylephrine in Aldex D has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Sympathomimetic agents 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. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus. Closer monitoring of blood glucose concentrations may be appropriate.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Landiolol may prevent early warning signs of hypoglycemia (e.g., tachycardia) and increase the risk for severe/prolonged hypoglycemia at any time during treatment, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus or patients who are fasting (e.g., surgery, not eating regularly, or are vomiting). Patients receiving landiolol should be monitored for signs/symptoms of hypoglycemia.

The pyrilamine in Aldex D has a moderate potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Obstruction.

Antihistamines often have anticholinergic activity, to which elderly patients are particularly sensitive. Therapy with antihistamines should be administered cautiously, if at all, in patients with preexisting conditions that are likely to be exacerbated by anticholinergic activity, such as urinary retention or obstruction; angle-closure glaucoma, untreated intraocular hypertension, or uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma; and gastrointestinal obstructive disorders. Conventional, first-generation antihistamines such as the ethanolamines (bromodiphenhydramine, carbinoxamine, clemastine, dimenhydrinate, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, phenyltoloxamine) tend to exhibit substantial anticholinergic effects. In contrast, the newer, relatively nonsedating antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine, fexofenadine, loratadine) reportedly have low to minimal anticholinergic activity at normally recommended dosages and may be appropriate alternatives.

The phenylephrine in Aldex D has a moderate potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.

Sympathomimetic agents can induce transient mydriasis via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. In patients with anatomically narrow angles or narrow-angle glaucoma, pupillary dilation can provoke an acute attack. In patients with other forms of glaucoma, mydriasis may occasionally increase intraocular pressure. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to glaucoma, particularly narrow-angle glaucoma.

Landiolol has a major potential interaction with Heart Block.

Landiolol is contraindicated in patients with severe sinus bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, or heart block greater than first degree. Patients with first-degree atrioventricular block, sinus node dysfunction, or conduction disorders are at increased risk of bradycardia (including sinus pause, heart block, severe bradycardia, and cardiac arrest). Heart rate and rhythm should be monitored in patients receiving landiolol. If bradyarrhythmia occurs, landiolol should be reduced or stopped.

Landiolol has a major potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Landiolol is contraindicated in patients with decompensated heart failure. Beta-blockers (like landiolol) can depress myocardial contractility and may precipitate heart failure and cardiogenic shock. At first sign/symptom of impending cardiac failure, landiolol should be stopped and supportive therapy should be started.

Patients with hemodynamic compromise, hypovolemia, or on interacting medications are at increased risk of hypotension while taking landiolol. Blood pressure should be monitored closely, especially if pretreatment blood pressure was low. Landiolol should be reduced or stopped for hypotension; the blood pressure effect should wane within 30 minutes.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Ischemic Heart Disease.

Patients should be observed for signs of myocardial ischemia when discontinuing landiolol. Severe exacerbations of angina, myocardial infarction, and ventricular arrhythmias have been reported in patients with coronary artery disease following abrupt discontinuation of beta-blocker therapy.

The pyrilamine in Aldex D has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Limited pharmacokinetic data are available for the older, first-generation antihistamines. Many appear to be primarily metabolized by the liver, and both parent drugs and metabolites are excreted in the urine. Patients with renal and/or liver disease may be at greater risk for adverse effects from antihistamines due to drug and metabolite accumulation. Therapy with antihistamines should be administered cautiously in such patients. Lower initial dosages may be appropriate.

The pyrilamine in Aldex D has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

In general, anxiolytics, sedatives and hypnotics are extensively metabolized by the liver. Their plasma clearance may be decreased and their half-life prolonged in patients with impaired hepatic function. Therapy with these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with liver disease (some are not recommended in severe liver impairment), and the dosage should be adjusted accordingly. Laboratory testing is recommended prior and during treatment.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The effect of moderate or severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh B or C) on landiolol pharmacokinetics is unknown; use of landiolol should be avoided in patients with moderate or severe liver dysfunction. In patients with mild liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh A), more conservative dose titration is recommended.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Myasthenia Gravis.

Beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agents (aka beta-blockers) may potentiate muscle weakness consistent with certain myasthenic symptoms such as diplopia, ptosis, and generalized weakness. Several beta-blockers have been associated rarely with aggravation of muscle weakness in patients with preexisting myasthenia gravis or myasthenic symptoms. Use cautiously in patients with myasthenia gravis.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Landiolol may exacerbate peripheral circulatory disorders (e.g., Raynaud's disease/syndrome) and peripheral occlusive vascular disease.

These agents should not be used in patients with severe coronary artery disease or severe/uncontrolled hypertension.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Pheochromocytoma.

Administration of beta-blockers alone in the setting of pheochromocytoma has been associated with a paradoxical increase in blood pressure due to the attenuation of beta receptor-mediated vasodilatation in skeletal muscle. In patients with pheochromocytoma, an alpha-blocking agent should be initiated prior to the use of any beta-blocking agent. Caution should be taken in the administration of these agents to patients suspected of having pheochromocytoma.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause or worsen urinary difficulty in patients with prostate enlargement due to smooth muscle contraction in the bladder neck via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertrophy or neoplasm of the prostate.

Landiolol has a major potential interaction with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

Landiolol is contraindicated in patients with pulmonary hypertension as it may precipitate cardiorespiratory decompensation.

The pyrilamine in Aldex D has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Limited pharmacokinetic data are available for the older, first-generation antihistamines. Many appear to be primarily metabolized by the liver, and both parent drugs and metabolites are excreted in the urine. Patients with renal and/or liver disease may be at greater risk for adverse effects from antihistamines due to drug and metabolite accumulation. Therapy with antihistamines should be administered cautiously in such patients. Lower initial dosages may be appropriate.

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Landiolol can cause increases in serum potassium and hyperkalemia; the risk is increased in patients with risk factors such as renal dysfunction. Potentially life-threatening hyperkalemia has been reported in hemodialysis patients administered IV beta-blockers. Serum electrolytes should be monitored during landiolol therapy. The effect of renal dysfunction on landiolol pharmacokinetics is unknown.
