Disease interactions

14 potential interactions Applies to: 13 conditions, including High Blood Pressure, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Hypotension, and Psychosis.

Bipolar Disorder

Major:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a major potential interaction with Bipolar Disorder.

Atomoxetine increased the risk of suicidal ideation in pediatric patients with ADHD, and patients should be monitored closely for suicidal thoughts and behavior, clinical worsening, or unusual behavioral changes, especially during initial therapy or dosage changes. Before initiating atomoxetine, patients should be screened for bipolar disorder risk factors, and discontinuation should be considered if treatment-emergent psychotic or manic symptoms occur.

Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders

Moderate:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Atomoxetine should be used with caution both in patients with conditions that may predispose them to hypotension or abrupt changes in heart rate or blood pressure, and in patients with underlying medical conditions that could be worsened by increases in blood pressure or heart rate, such as hypertension, tachycardia, cardiovascular disease, or cerebrovascular disease. Heart rate and blood pressure should be measured at baseline, following atomoxetine dosage increases, and periodically during therapy to detect clinically important increases.

Cerebral Vascular Disorder

Moderate:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a moderate potential interaction with Cerebral Vascular Disorder.

Atomoxetine should be used with caution both in patients with conditions that may predispose them to hypotension or abrupt changes in heart rate or blood pressure, and in patients with underlying medical conditions that could be worsened by increases in blood pressure or heart rate, such as hypertension, tachycardia, cardiovascular disease, or cerebrovascular disease. Heart rate and blood pressure should be measured at baseline, following atomoxetine dosage increases, and periodically during therapy to detect clinically important increases.

Depression

Major:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a major potential interaction with Depression.

Atomoxetine increased the risk of suicidal ideation in pediatric patients with ADHD, and patients should be monitored closely for suicidal thoughts and behavior, clinical worsening, or unusual behavioral changes, especially during initial therapy or dosage changes. Before initiating atomoxetine, patients should be screened for bipolar disorder risk factors, and discontinuation should be considered if treatment-emergent psychotic or manic symptoms occur.

Glaucoma, Narrow Angle

Major:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a major potential interaction with Glaucoma, Narrow Angle.

The use of atomoxetine is contraindicated in patients with narrow angle glaucoma. In clinical trials, atomoxetine use was associated with an increased risk of mydriasis.

Heart Disease

Major:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a major potential interaction with Heart Disease.

Atomoxetine is contraindicated in patients with severe cardiac or vascular disorders whose condition would be expected to deteriorate if they had clinically important increase in blood pressure (e.g., 15 to 20 mmHg) or heart rate (e.g., 20 beats per minute). Atomoxetine generally should not be used in pediatric patients with known serious structural cardiac abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, serious arrhythmias, or other serious cardiac problems, and clinicians should consider not treating adults with clinically significant cardiac abnormalities, due to the risk of sudden death. Carefully assess cardiovascular history and perform physical exam before treatment, conduct further cardiac evaluation when indicated, and stop atomoxetine pending prompt cardiac evaluation if exertional chest pain, unexplained syncope, or other symptoms suggestive of cardiac disease occur.

High Blood Pressure

Major:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a major potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

CNS stimulants increase blood pressure and heart rate; the use of some agents may be contraindicated in patients with severe/uncontrolled hypertension. Caution should be used when administering to patients with preexisting high blood pressure (even mild hypertension) and other cardiovascular conditions. All patients under treatment should be regularly monitored for potential tachycardia and hypertension.

Hypotension

Moderate:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a moderate potential interaction with Hypotension.

Atomoxetine should be used with caution both in patients with conditions that may predispose them to hypotension or abrupt changes in heart rate or blood pressure, and in patients with underlying medical conditions that could be worsened by increases in blood pressure or heart rate, such as hypertension, tachycardia, cardiovascular disease, or cerebrovascular disease. Heart rate and blood pressure should be measured at baseline, following atomoxetine dosage increases, and periodically during therapy to detect clinically important increases.

Infection

Moderate:

talquetamab

Talquetamab has a moderate potential interaction with Infection.

Teclistamab and talquetamab can cause severe, life-threatening, or fatal infections. Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment. Any infection should be treated appropriately. Administer prophylactic antimicrobials according to clinical guidelines.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Atomoxetine can cause severe liver injury. Atomoxetine exposure is increased in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment, and a lower dosage is recommended in these patients. Atomoxetine should be permanently discontinued in patients with jaundice or laboratory evidence of liver injury. Liver enzyme and function tests should be obtained at the first symptom or sign of liver dysfunction.

Moderate:

talquetamab

Talquetamab has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The effects of severe renal impairment (eGFR less than 30 mL/min) on the pharmacokinetics of teclistamab and talquetamab are unknown. Moderate to severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 times ULN with any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of teclistamab are unknown. Severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin greater than 3 times ULN with any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of talquetamab are unknown. Additionally, teclistamab and talquetamab have caused hepatotoxicity, including fatalities. Caution is advised in patients with renal and hepatic impairment. Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during treatment as clinically indicated.

Pheochromocytoma

Major:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a major potential interaction with Pheochromocytoma.

Atomoxetine is contraindicated in patients with pheochromocytoma or a history of pheochromocytoma. Serious reactions, including elevated blood pressure and tachyarrhythmia, have been reported in patients with pheochromocytoma or a history of pheochromocytoma who received atomoxetine.

Psychosis

Major:

atomoxetine

Atomoxetine has a major potential interaction with Psychosis.

Atomoxetine increased the risk of suicidal ideation in pediatric patients with ADHD, and patients should be monitored closely for suicidal thoughts and behavior, clinical worsening, or unusual behavioral changes, especially during initial therapy or dosage changes. Before initiating atomoxetine, patients should be screened for bipolar disorder risk factors, and discontinuation should be considered if treatment-emergent psychotic or manic symptoms occur.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

talquetamab

Talquetamab has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

The effects of severe renal impairment (eGFR less than 30 mL/min) on the pharmacokinetics of teclistamab and talquetamab are unknown. Moderate to severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 times ULN with any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of teclistamab are unknown. Severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin greater than 3 times ULN with any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of talquetamab are unknown. Additionally, teclistamab and talquetamab have caused hepatotoxicity, including fatalities. Caution is advised in patients with renal and hepatic impairment.
