bumetanide vosoritide

Applies to: bumetanide and Voxzogo (vosoritide)

MONITOR: Vosoritide may cause transient decreases in blood pressure. Theoretically, coadministration with antihypertensives or organic nitrates may increase the potential for symptomatic hypotension. In clinical trials, 13% of patients treated with vosoritide experienced a transient decrease in blood pressure compared to 5% of patients on placebo. The median time to onset from injection was 31 (18 to 120) minutes with resolution within 31 (5 to 90) minutes. Two out of 60 (3%) vosoritide-treated patients each had one symptomatic episode of decreased blood pressure with vomiting and/or dizziness compared to 0 of 61 (0%) patients on placebo. Data on this interaction are lacking as patients with significant cardiac or vascular disease and patients on antihypertensive drugs were excluded from vosoritide clinical trials.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised during coadministration of vosoritide with blood pressure lowering agents. To reduce the risk of low blood pressure and its associated signs and symptoms, patients should have adequate food intake before vosoritide administration and should drink approximately 240 to 300 mL of fluid within the hour prior to vosoritide administration. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their doctor if they experience fatigue, nausea, dizziness, or lightheadedness. Patients should also avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until they know how the medications affect them.

Applies to: bumetanide

MONITOR: Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation. Coadministration with antihypertensives and other hypotensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Some authorities recommend avoiding alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.

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.
