Drug interactions

Moderate drug interactions

Moderate:

isoetharine tirzepatide

Applies to: Bronkosol (isoetharine) and tirzepatide

Tirzepatide can cause an increase in heart rate and may have additive effects with other medications that can also increase heart rate such as isoetharine. There are times when an elevated heart rate is appropriate, like when you are exercising. However, you should contact your doctor if you notice that your heart rate is high at other times for unknown reasons or if it is occurring frequently. Signs and symptoms of an elevated heart rate may include a sensation of a racing or pounding heartbeat, chest pain, shortness of breath, or a heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute in an adult. 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.

Food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate food/lifestyle interactions

Moderate:

tirzepatide Food/Lifestyle

Applies to: tirzepatide

Tirzepatide may affect the absorption of other medications that you take by mouth. In some cases, this may affect how well and/or how fast those medications work, or it may make no difference. Talk to a healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns, and contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes. 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:

isoetharine Caffeine

Applies to: Bronkosol (isoetharine)

Both isoetharine and caffeine can increase blood pressure and heart rate, and combining them may enhance these effects. Talk to your doctor before using these medications, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure or heart disease. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.

Disease interactions

15 potential interactions Applies to: 15 conditions, including High Blood Pressure, Seizures, Diarrhea, Hypokalemia, and Gastroparesis.

Dehydration

Moderate:

tirzepatide

Tirzepatide has a moderate potential interaction with Dehydration.

Tirzepatide has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions (including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea); such events may lead to dehydration, which could cause acute kidney injury if severe. There have been postmarketing reports of acute kidney injury and worsening of chronic renal failure (which may sometimes require hemodialysis) in patients treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists; some of these events were reported in patients without known underlying renal disease, and most of the reported cases occurred in patients who experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration. Renal function should be monitored when starting or escalating doses of tirzepatide in patients with renal dysfunction reporting severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions. No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with renal dysfunction.

Diabetes Mellitus

Moderate:

Bronkosol

The isoetharine in Bronkosol has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Adrenergic bronchodilators 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. Large doses of IV albuterol (not commercially available in the U.S.) and terbutaline sulfate have been reported to cause exacerbation of preexisting diabetes mellitus and ketoacidosis. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus. Closer monitoring of blood glucose concentrations may be appropriate. Systemic adverse effects are minimized, but not abolished, by administration of these agents via oral inhalation.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Moderate:

tirzepatide

Tirzepatide has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetic Retinopathy.

Tirzepatide has not been studied in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring acute therapy, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, or diabetic macular edema; caution is recommended in these patients. Rapid improvement in glucose control has been associated with a temporary worsening of diabetic retinopathy. Patients with history of diabetic retinopathy should be monitored for progression of diabetic retinopathy.

Diarrhea

Moderate:

tirzepatide

Tirzepatide has a moderate potential interaction with Diarrhea.

Tirzepatide has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions (including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea); such events may lead to dehydration, which could cause acute kidney injury if severe. There have been postmarketing reports of acute kidney injury and worsening of chronic renal failure (which may sometimes require hemodialysis) in patients treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists; some of these events were reported in patients without known underlying renal disease, and most of the reported cases occurred in patients who experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration. Renal function should be monitored when starting or escalating doses of tirzepatide in patients with renal dysfunction reporting severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions. No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with renal dysfunction.

Gastroparesis

Moderate:

tirzepatide

Tirzepatide has a moderate potential interaction with Gastroparesis.

Use of tirzepatide has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions (sometimes severe). Because tirzepatide has not been studied in patients with severe gastrointestinal disease (including severe gastroparesis), it is not recommended in these patients.

Heart Disease

Moderate:

Bronkosol

The isoetharine in Bronkosol has a moderate potential interaction with Heart Disease.

Adrenergic bronchodilators can stimulate cardiovascular beta- 1 and beta- 2 receptors, resulting in adverse effects such as tachycardia, palpitation, peripheral vasodilation, blood pressure changes, and ECG changes (e.g., flattening of the T wave; prolongation of the QT interval; ST segment depression). Direct stimulation of cardiac tissues is mediated by beta- 1 receptors and thus less likely to occur with beta-2-selective agents such as albuterol. However, beta-2-selectivity is not absolute and can be lost with larger doses. High dosages of these agents have been associated with precipitation or aggravation of angina, myocardial ischemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, and/or underlying cardiovascular disorders such as coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, or hypertension. The recommended dosages should not be exceeded.

High Blood Pressure

Moderate:

Bronkosol

The isoetharine in Bronkosol has a moderate potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

Adrenergic bronchodilators can stimulate cardiovascular beta- 1 and beta- 2 receptors, resulting in adverse effects such as tachycardia, palpitation, peripheral vasodilation, blood pressure changes, and ECG changes (e.g., flattening of the T wave; prolongation of the QT interval; ST segment depression). Direct stimulation of cardiac tissues is mediated by beta- 1 receptors and thus less likely to occur with beta-2-selective agents such as albuterol. However, beta-2-selectivity is not absolute and can be lost with larger doses. High dosages of these agents have been associated with precipitation or aggravation of angina, myocardial ischemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, and/or underlying cardiovascular disorders such as coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, or hypertension. The recommended dosages should not be exceeded.

Hyperthyroidism

Moderate:

Bronkosol

The isoetharine in Bronkosol has a moderate potential interaction with Hyperthyroidism.

Adrenergic bronchodilators can stimulate cardiovascular beta- 1 and beta- 2 receptors, resulting in adverse effects such as tachycardia, palpitation, peripheral vasodilation, blood pressure changes, and ECG changes (e.g., flattening of the T wave; prolongation of the QT interval; ST segment depression). Direct stimulation of cardiac tissues is mediated by beta- 1 receptors and thus less likely to occur with beta-2-selective agents such as albuterol. However, beta-2-selectivity is not absolute and can be lost with larger doses. High dosages of these agents have been associated with precipitation or aggravation of angina, myocardial ischemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, and/or underlying cardiovascular disorders such as coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, or hypertension. The recommended dosages should not be exceeded.

Hypokalemia

Moderate:

Bronkosol

The isoetharine in Bronkosol has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.

Adrenergic bronchodilators may cause decreases in serum potassium concentrations, primarily when given by nebulization or intravenous administration. Although this effect is usually transient and does not require supplementation, clinically significant hypokalemia may occur in some patients, with the potential to induce cardiovascular adverse effects. The relevance of these observations to oral or oral aerosol/powder for inhalation therapy is unknown. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to hypokalemia.

Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type II

Major:

tirzepatide

Tirzepatide has a major potential interaction with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type II.

Tirzepatide is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Patients with elevated serum calcitonin or thyroid nodules noted on physical examination or neck imaging should be further evaluated. Patients should be counseled regarding the potential risk for MTC with the use of tirzepatide and should be informed of symptoms of thyroid tumors.

Pancreatitis

Moderate:

tirzepatide

Tirzepatide has a moderate potential interaction with Pancreatitis.

Acute pancreatitis (including fatal and nonfatal hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis) has been observed in patients treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists; acute pancreatitis has been reported in patients treated with tirzepatide in clinical trials. Tirzepatide has not been studied in patients with history of pancreatitis; it is unknown if such patients are at higher risk of developing pancreatitis on tirzepatide. After initiation of tirzepatide, patients should be observed carefully for signs/symptoms of pancreatitis (including persistent severe abdominal pain [sometimes radiating to the back], with or without vomiting); if pancreatitis is suspected, tirzepatide should be discontinued and appropriate management should be started.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

tirzepatide

Tirzepatide has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Tirzepatide has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions (including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea); such events may lead to dehydration, which could cause acute kidney injury if severe. There have been postmarketing reports of acute kidney injury and worsening of chronic renal failure (which may sometimes require hemodialysis) in patients treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists; some of these events were reported in patients without known underlying renal disease, and most of the reported cases occurred in patients who experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration. Renal function should be monitored when starting or escalating doses of tirzepatide in patients with renal dysfunction reporting severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions. No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with renal dysfunction.

Seizures

Moderate:

Bronkosol

The isoetharine in Bronkosol has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.

Adrenergic bronchodilators may cause CNS stimulation. Therapy with adrenergic bronchodilators should be administered cautiously in patients with seizure disorders. Systemic adverse effects are minimized, but not abolished, by administration of these agents via oral inhalation.
