Interactions between your drugs
phenylephrine caffeine
Applies to: caffeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate / sodium salicylate and caffeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate / sodium salicylate
Both phenylephrine 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.
sodium salicylate sodium citrate
Applies to: caffeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate / sodium salicylate and caffeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate / sodium salicylate
Using sodium citrate together with sodium salicylate may decrease the effects of sodium salicylate. Contact your doctor if your condition changes. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. 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.
sodium salicylate torsemide
Applies to: caffeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate / sodium salicylate and Demadex IV (torsemide)
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Concomitant use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and diuretics may adversely affect renal function due to NSAID inhibition of the renal synthesis of prostaglandins that help maintain renal perfusion in dehydrated states. The risk may be increased in patients on dietary sodium restriction. At the same time, hypotensive effect of the diuretics may be reduced because inhibition of prostaglandins can lead to unopposed pressor activity and, consequently, elevation in blood pressure. Natriuretic and diuretic effects may also be reduced, as NSAIDs have been reported to cause sodium and water retention, which may account for the increased risk of congestive heart failure associated with the combination. One study showed an increase in the incidence density of congestive heart failure (in patients over 55 years of age) from 9.3 per 1,000 person-years in patients on diuretics to 23.3 per 1,000 person-years in patients on both diuretic and NSAID therapy. NSAIDs may also increase the risk of hyperkalemia associated with potassium-sparing diuretics.
MANAGEMENT: In patients receiving both diuretic and NSAID therapy, management consists of avoiding dehydration and carefully monitoring the patient's renal function and blood pressure. If renal insufficiency or hyperkalemia develops, both drugs should be discontinued until the condition is corrected.
Drug and food interactions
pheniramine food
Applies to: caffeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate / sodium salicylate
Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of pheniramine such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with pheniramine. Do not use more than the recommended dose of pheniramine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
phenylephrine food
Applies to: caffeine / pheniramine / phenylephrine / sodium citrate / sodium salicylate
Both phenylephrine 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.
