Drug Interactions between BiDil and MLK F2

Additional use of local anesthetics including lidocaine should generally be avoided within 96 hours following administration of BUPivacaine. Because the toxic effects of these medications are additive, using them together requires caution and constant monitoring of vital signs and state of consciousness to prevent serious and potentially life-threatening side effects such as methemoglobinemia (a condition that can deprive tissues and organs of oxygen), central nervous system reactions (e.G., convulsions, unconsciousness, coma, respiratory arrest), and cardiovascular disorders (e.G., low blood pressure, heart block, irregular heart rhythm, cardiac arrest). Patients require immediate medical attention if they develop signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia such as pale, gray, or blue colored skin (cyanosis); headache; rapid heart rate; shortness of breath; lightheadedness; or fatigue. 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.

Using lidocaine together with isosorbide dinitrate may cause methemoglobinemia, a rare condition that can lead to oxygen deprivation in tissues and vital organs due to reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Individuals may be more susceptible to developing methemoglobinemia during treatment with these medications if they are very young (especially neonates and infants) or have diseases of the heart or lungs, certain genetic predispositions, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Medical supervision may be necessary when medications that can cause methemoglobinemia are used together. Signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia may occur immediately or hours after treatment. Patients or their caregivers should seek immediate medical attention if they develop gray discoloration of the skin, abnormal blood coloration, nausea, headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, shortness of breath, rapid or shallow breathing, a rapid heartbeat, palpitation, anxiety, or confusion. 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.

Isosorbide dinitrate 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.

Triamcinolone may reduce the effects of hydrALAZINE in lowering blood pressure. The interaction is most likely to occur when triamcinolone is used for more than a week, since prolonged use can cause sodium and water retention. Let your doctor know if you experience sudden, unexplained weight gain or swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications.
