Disease interactions
27 potential interactions Applies to: 22 conditions, including Heart Failure, Seizures, Hypokalemia, Hypotension, and Hyperthyroidism.
Acidosis
Moderate:
Flavalta
The EPINEPHrine in Flavalta has a moderate potential interaction with Acidosis.
Acidosis, hypoxia, and hypercapnia may reduce the effectiveness of sympathomimetic amines in raising blood pressure. These conditions should be corrected before initiating therapy with sympathomimetic amines, if possible. Monitoring the patients acid-base balance, carbon dioxide levels, and oxygen saturation is recommended.
Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts
Moderate:
dasatinib
Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.
Thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis, and neutropenia occur with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Therapy with these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting bone marrow suppression. A complete blood count should be performed every 1 to 2 weeks for the first month of therapy and then monthly thereafter, or as clinically indicated. To manage myelosuppression, withhold, reduce dose, or discontinue therapy as necessary.
Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders
Major:
Flavalta
The EPINEPHrine in Flavalta 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.
Moderate:
dasatinib
Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.
Cardiovascular events (including arterial vascular occlusive events, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and ischemic cerebrovascular events) have been reported in patients receiving BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if acute signs or symptoms of cardiovascular events occur. Cardiovascular status should be evaluated, and cardiovascular risk factors should be monitored and actively managed during treatment.
Dehydration
Major:
Flavalta
The EPINEPHrine in Flavalta has a major potential interaction with Dehydration.
The use of sympathomimetic amines has been infrequently associated with significant hypotension especially in dehydrated patients secondary to the drug's beta-2 mediated vasodilation. Hypovolemia should be corrected, if possible, before administering sympathomimetic amines. Blood pressure and ECG should be monitored at regular intervals. Monitoring of cardiac output and pulmonary wedge pressure may also be desired.
Diabetes Mellitus
Moderate:
Flavalta
The EPINEPHrine in Flavalta 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.
Fluid Retention
Moderate:
dasatinib
Dasatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Fluid Retention.
Fluid retention occurs with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy and may manifest as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, and/or peripheral edema. Caution should be taken when using these drugs in patients with preexisting fluid retention or congestive heart failure. Monitor and manage patients using standards of care. Interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue therapy as necessary.
Heart Block
Major:
Flavalta
The lidocaine in Flavalta has a major potential interaction with Heart Block.
