Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

valsartan nebivolol

Applies to: Byvalson (nebivolol / valsartan) and Byvalson (nebivolol / valsartan)

GENERALLY AVOID: In the Valsartan Heart Failure Trial, the combination of valsartan with a beta-blocker and an ACE inhibitor was associated with unfavorable outcomes on morbidity and mortality in heart failure patients. The mechanism is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends that the triple combination of valsartan with a beta-blocker and an ACE inhibitor be avoided in heart failure patients.

Moderate

nebivolol pasireotide

Applies to: Byvalson (nebivolol / valsartan) and pasireotide

MONITOR: The risk of significant bradycardia and atrioventricular (AV) block may be increased during concomitant treatment of pasireotide with other drugs that slow heart rate or AV conduction such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, atazanavir, digitalis, flecainide, lacosamide, mefloquine, moricizine, and propafenone.

MANAGEMENT: Pasireotide has not been studied in patients receiving other bradycardic drugs. Because bradycardia and AV block are recognized risk factors for torsade de pointes arrhythmia, electrocardiographic monitoring is recommended prior to initiation of pasireotide and during treatment. Dose adjustments of beta blockers and calcium channel blockers or correction of electrolyte disturbances may be necessary.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

valsartan food

Applies to: Byvalson (nebivolol / valsartan)

GENERALLY AVOID: Moderate-to-high dietary intake of potassium, especially salt substitutes, may increase the risk of hyperkalemia in some patients who are using angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). ARBs can promote hyperkalemia through inhibition of angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion. Patients with diabetes, heart failure, dehydration, or renal insufficiency have a greater risk of developing hyperkalemia.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should receive dietary counseling and be advised to not use potassium-containing salt substitutes or over-the-counter potassium supplements without consulting their physician. If salt substitutes are used concurrently, regular monitoring of serum potassium levels is recommended. Patients should also be advised to seek medical attention if they experience symptoms of hyperkalemia such as weakness, irregular heartbeat, confusion, tingling of the extremities, or feelings of heaviness in the legs.

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.
