Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

hydrALAZINE hydroCHLOROthiazide

Applies to: Uni Serp (hydralazine / hydrochlorothiazide / reserpine) and Uni Serp (hydralazine / hydrochlorothiazide / reserpine)

HydroCHLOROthiazide may add to the blood pressure lowering effects of hydrALAZINE. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring of your blood pressure to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if you experience dizziness, weakness, fatigue, lightheadedness, headache, flushing, fainting, or a rapid pulse or heart rate. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how these medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

hydrALAZINE reserpine

Applies to: Uni Serp (hydralazine / hydrochlorothiazide / reserpine) and Uni Serp (hydralazine / hydrochlorothiazide / reserpine)

Reserpine may add to the blood pressure lowering effects of hydrALAZINE. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring of your blood pressure to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if you experience dizziness, weakness, fatigue, lightheadedness, headache, flushing, fainting, or a rapid pulse or heart rate. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how these medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

hydroCHLOROthiazide reserpine

Applies to: Uni Serp (hydralazine / hydrochlorothiazide / reserpine) and Uni Serp (hydralazine / hydrochlorothiazide / reserpine)

Before taking hydroCHLOROthiazide, tell your doctor if you also use reserpine. You may need dose adjustments or special tests in order to safely take both medications together. The blood pressure lowering effects of this combination may be additive. You should take reserpine at bedtime and to notify your doctor if have dizziness or feel faint. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

reserpine berotralstat

Applies to: Uni Serp (hydralazine / hydrochlorothiazide / reserpine) and berotralstat

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) may increase the plasma concentrations of berotralstat. Berotralstat is a substrate of both P-gp and BCRP. Coadministration with the potent P-gp and BCRP inhibitor cyclosporine increased berotralstat peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and total systemic drug exposure (AUC 0-inf) by 25% and 69%, respectively. However, other regulatory bodies reported that cyclosporine decreased the Cmax of a single 150 mg dose of berotralstat by 7% and increased the AUC by 24-27%. Increased plasma concentrations of berotralstat may increase the risk of adverse effects, including the potential for QT prolongation. Berotralstat may cause concentration-dependent prolongation of the Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF). A mean increase in the QTcF interval of 15.9 milliseconds has been reported at 3-times the recommended dose of berotralstat; however, berotralstat has not been shown to prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent when administered at the recommended daily dose of 150 mg. Data are not available for other, less potent P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitors.

MANAGEMENT: No dose adjustments of berotralstat are recommended; however, monitoring for adverse events may be advisable during concomitant use of berotralstat with P-gp and/or BCRP inhibitors. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they experience undue adverse effects of berotralstat such as abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. Patients should seek prompt medical attention if they experience symptoms that could indicate the occurrence of torsade de pointes such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, palpitations, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, or syncope.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

hydrALAZINE food

Applies to: Uni Serp (hydralazine / hydrochlorothiazide / reserpine)

HydrALAZINE and ethanol (alcohol) may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. These side effects are most likely to be seen at the beginning of treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after an interruption. Let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms and they do not go away after a few days or they become troublesome. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
