Interactions between your drugs
cloNIDine terazosin
Applies to: clonidine and Tezruly (terazosin)
Talk to your doctor before using cloNIDine together with terazosin. Combining these medications may cause excessive slowing of your heart rate that can lead to serious or life-threatening cardiac complications. In addition, there is evidence to suggest that medications like terazosin may reduce the effectiveness of cloNIDine in lowering blood pressure, although some data do not support this. Contact your doctor if you develop dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, chest pain, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor 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.
Drug and food interactions
cloNIDine food

CloNIDine and ethanol (alcohol) may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate.

Let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms and they do not go away after a few days or they become troublesome. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. 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.
terazosin food
Applies to: Tezruly (terazosin)
Ask your doctor before using terazosin together with ethanol (alcohol). Using terazosin with ethanol (alcohol) can lower your blood pressure. This can cause dizziness or feeling like you might pass out, especially when getting up from a sitting or lying position. This may be more likely to occur when you first start taking either of these medications. You may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often if you take both medications. You may develop flushing, warmth or redness under your skin or tingly feeling after alcohol intake (especially in you are of Asian descent) and should be advised to avoid alcohol or limit your intake.
