Can you take Carbetapentane / pseudoephedrine with Sodium lactate?

Sodium lactate has a major potential interaction with Alkalosis.

Lactate metabolism results in production of bicarbonate. Bicarbonate generation is impaired in patients with compromised liver function and/or disorders that decrease tissue perfusion and increase anoxia. Therapy with sodium lactate should not be used in conditions in which lactate levels are increased (e.g., shock, congestive heart failure, respiratory alkalosis) or in which utilization of lactate is diminished (e.g., anoxia, beriberi). Sodium lactate is not for use in the treatment of lactic acidosis.

Sodium lactate has a moderate potential interaction with Alkalosis.

Alkalinizing agents act as proton acceptors and/or dissociate to provide bicarbonate ions. Elimination of bicarbonate is decreased in patients with renal impairment and can result in metabolic alkalosis. Symptoms of metabolic alkalosis include hyperirritability or tetany, arrhythmia, and/or seizures (altered pH = altered calcium), or lactic acidosis due to impaired oxygen release. Therapy with alkalinizing agents should be administered with extreme caution in patients with compromised renal function. Clinical monitoring of renal function, acid/base balance and electrolytes is recommended.

Sodium lactate has a major potential interaction with Anorexia/Feeding Problems.

Lactate metabolism results in production of bicarbonate. Bicarbonate generation is impaired in patients with compromised liver function and/or disorders that decrease tissue perfusion and increase anoxia. Therapy with sodium lactate should not be used in conditions in which lactate levels are increased (e.g., shock, congestive heart failure, respiratory alkalosis) or in which utilization of lactate is diminished (e.g., anoxia, beriberi). Sodium lactate is not for use in the treatment of lactic acidosis.

The pseudoephedrine in carbetapentane / pseudoephedrine has a moderate potential interaction with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause or worsen urinary difficulty in patients with prostate enlargement due to smooth muscle contraction in the bladder neck via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertrophy or neoplasm of the prostate.

The pseudoephedrine in carbetapentane / pseudoephedrine has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause adverse cardiovascular effects, particularly when used in high dosages and/or in susceptible patients. In cardiac tissues, these agents may produce positive chronotropic and inotropic effects via stimulation of beta- 1 adrenergic receptors. Cardiac output, oxygen consumption, and the work of the heart may be increased. In the peripheral vasculature, vasoconstriction may occur via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, hypertension, reflex bradycardia, coronary occlusion, cerebral vasculitis, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and death have been reported. Some of these agents, particularly ephedra alkaloids (ephedrine, ma huang, phenylpropanolamine), may also predispose patients to hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should generally be avoided or administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, or underlying cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders. These agents should not be used in patients with severe coronary artery disease or severe/uncontrolled hypertension.

The pseudoephedrine in carbetapentane / pseudoephedrine has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Sympathomimetic agents 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. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus. Closer monitoring of blood glucose concentrations may be appropriate.

Sodium lactate has a major potential interaction with Fluid Retention.

Alkalinizing agents containing sodium can induce sodium and water retention and result in hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hyperosmolality, edema and aggravation of congestive heart failure. Therapy with sodium- containing alkalinizing agents should not be used in patients with hypernatremia or fluid retention. Clinical monitoring of acid/base balance and electrolytes prior to, during, a following completion of therapy with alkalinizing agents is recommended.

The pseudoephedrine in carbetapentane / pseudoephedrine has a moderate potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Obstruction.

The extended-release formulation of pseudoephedrine (Sudafed 24 Hour) contains a non-deformable material. There have been rare reports of obstructive symptoms in patients with known strictures following the ingestion of similar sustained-release products. Therapy with the extended-release formulation of pseudoephedrine should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting severe gastrointestinal narrowing or obstruction, whether pathologic or iatrogenic.

The pseudoephedrine in carbetapentane / pseudoephedrine has a moderate potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.

Sympathomimetic agents can induce transient mydriasis via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. In patients with anatomically narrow angles or narrow-angle glaucoma, pupillary dilation can provoke an acute attack. In patients with other forms of glaucoma, mydriasis may occasionally increase intraocular pressure. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to glaucoma, particularly narrow-angle glaucoma.

Sodium lactate has a major potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Alkalinizing agents containing sodium can induce sodium and water retention and result in hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hyperosmolality, edema and aggravation of congestive heart failure.

The pseudoephedrine in carbetapentane / pseudoephedrine has a moderate potential interaction with Phenylketonuria.

Chewable products frequently may contain aspartame, which is metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract to phenylalanine. Sudafed (brand of pseudoephedrine) chewable 15 mg tablets provide the equivalent of 0.78 mg of phenylalanine per each tablet. The aspartame/phenylalanine content should be considered when this and similar products are used in patients who must restrict their intake of phenylalanine (i.e. phenylketonurics).
