Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nortriptyline onabotulinumtoxinA

Applies to: Aventyl Hydrochloride (nortriptyline) and onabotulinumtoxinA

MONITOR: Use of anticholinergic drugs after administration of botulinum toxin may potentiate systemic anticholinergic effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and urinary disorders. Botulinum toxin inhibits the release of acetylcholine from peripheral cholinergic nerve endings, thus additive or synergistic anticholinergic effects may occur when these agents are used together.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised that systemic anticholinergic side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and urinary disorders may increase if agents with anticholinergic properties (e.g., sedating antihistamines; antispasmodics; neuroleptics; phenothiazines; skeletal muscle relaxants; tricyclic antidepressants; disopyramide) are used after administration of botulinum toxin.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nortriptyline food

Applies to: Aventyl Hydrochloride (nortriptyline)

GENERALLY AVOID: Concomitant use of ethanol and a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) may result altered TCA plasma levels and efficacy, and additive impairment of motor skills, especially driving skills. Acute ethanol ingestion may inhibit TCA metabolism, while chronic ingestion of large amounts of ethanol may induce hepatic TCA metabolism.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol during TCA therapy. Alcoholics who have undergone detoxification should be monitored for decreased TCA efficacy. Dosage adjustments may be required.

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.
