Disease interactions
16 potential interactions Applies to: 16 conditions, including High Blood Pressure, Arrhythmia, Fever, Tardive Dyskinesia, and Psychosis.
Arrhythmia
Major:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a major potential interaction with Arrhythmia.
Patients with tachycardia should be supervised closely during treatment with anticholinergic agents. Tachycardia is produced by blocking normal vagal inhibition of the SA node. Paradoxically, bradycardia may occur due to central vagal stimulation which may occur prior to peripheral cholinergic blockade.
Autonomic Neuropathy
Major:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a major potential interaction with Autonomic Neuropathy.
Agents with anticholinergic activity can exacerbate many of the manifestations of autonomic neuropathy, including tachycardia, anhidrosis, bladder atony, obstipation, dry mouth and eyes, cycloplegia and blurring of vision, and sexual impotence in males. Therapy with antimuscarinic agents and higher dosages of antispasmodic agents (e.g., dicyclomine or oxybutynin) should be administered cautiously in patients with autonomic neuropathy.
Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders
Moderate:
daxibotulinumtoxinA
daxibotulinumtoxinA has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.
Botulinum toxins have caused adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors including pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Caution is advised when administering daxibotulinumtoxinA to patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
Dysphagia
Major:
daxibotulinumtoxinA
daxibotulinumtoxinA has a major potential interaction with Dysphagia.
Treatment with botulinum toxin products, including abobotulinumtoxinA, incobotulinumtoxinA, onabotulinumtoxinA, daxibotulinumtoxinA, letibotulinumtoxinA and others can result in swallowing and breathing difficulties and in general increased neuromuscular compromise. Deaths due to severe dysphagia or respiratory failure have been reported after treatment with botulinum toxin. Care should be exercised with using these products in patients with pre- existing swallowing or respiratory disorders or peripheral motor neuropathic diseases or neuromuscular disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), as they may be at increased risk of clinically significant effects including generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia and respiratory compromise. Patients treated with botulinum toxin may require immediate medical attention should they develop these complications. Caution is advised.
Esophageal Obstruction
Major:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a major potential interaction with Esophageal Obstruction.
Anticholinergics are contraindicated in patients with obstructive diseases such as achalasia, esophageal stricture or stenosis, pyloroduodenal stenosis, stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloric obstruction, and paralytic ileus. Anticholinergics may further suppress intestinal motility with resultant precipitation or aggravation of toxic megacolon.
Fever
Minor:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a minor potential interaction with Fever.
Atropine-like agents may increase the risk of hyperthermia in patients with fever by producing anhidrosis. Therapy with atropine-like agents should be administered cautiously in febrile patients.
Gastrointestinal Obstruction
Major:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a major potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Obstruction.
Anticholinergics are contraindicated in patients with obstructive diseases such as achalasia, esophageal stricture or stenosis, pyloroduodenal stenosis, stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloric obstruction, and paralytic ileus. Anticholinergics may further suppress intestinal motility with resultant precipitation or aggravation of toxic megacolon.
Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension
Major:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a major potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.
Anticholinergic agents are contraindicated in patients with primary glaucoma, a tendency toward glaucoma (narrow anterior chamber angle), or adhesions (synechiae) between the iris and lens, as well as for the elderly and others in whom undiagnosed glaucoma or excessive pressure in the eye may be present. Because anticholinergics cause mydriasis, they may exacerbate these conditions.
High Blood Pressure
Minor:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a minor potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.
Cardiovascular effects of anticholinergics may exacerbate hypertension. Therapy with anticholinergic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertension.
Infection
Major:
daxibotulinumtoxinA
daxibotulinumtoxinA has a major potential interaction with Infection.
Botulinum toxin products, including abobotulinumtoxinA, incobotulinumtoxinA, onabotulinumtoxinA, letibotulinumtoxinA, and others should not be used in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) as it could lead to severe local or disseminated infection(s).
Infectious Gastroenteritis
Major:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a major potential interaction with Infectious Gastroenteritis.
The use of drugs with antiperistaltic activity (primarily antidiarrheal and antimuscarinic agents, but also antispasmodic agents such as dicyclomine or oxybutynin at high dosages) is contraindicated in patients with diarrhea due to pseudomembranous enterocolitis or enterotoxin-producing bacteria. These drugs may prolong and/or worsen diarrhea associated with organisms that invade the intestinal mucosa, such as toxigenic E. coli, Salmonella and Shigella, and pseudomembranous colitis due to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Other symptoms and complications such as fever, shedding of organisms and extraintestinal illness may also be increased or prolonged. In general, because antiperistaltic agents decrease gastrointestinal motility, they may delay the excretion of infective gastroenteric organisms or toxins and should be used cautiously in patients with any infectious diarrhea, particularly if accompanied by high fever or pus or blood in the stool. Some cough and cold and other combination products may occasionally include antimuscarinic agents for their drying effects and may, therefore, require careful selection when necessary.
Myasthenia Gravis
Major:
daxibotulinumtoxinA
daxibotulinumtoxinA has a major potential interaction with Myasthenia Gravis.
Treatment with botulinum toxin products, including abobotulinumtoxinA, incobotulinumtoxinA, onabotulinumtoxinA, daxibotulinumtoxinA, letibotulinumtoxinA and others can result in swallowing and breathing difficulties and in general increased neuromuscular compromise. Deaths due to severe dysphagia or respiratory failure have been reported after treatment with botulinum toxin. Care should be exercised with using these products in patients with pre- existing swallowing or respiratory disorders or peripheral motor neuropathic diseases or neuromuscular disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), as they may be at increased risk of clinically significant effects including generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia and respiratory compromise. Patients treated with botulinum toxin may require immediate medical attention should they develop these complications. Caution is advised.
Psychosis
Moderate:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a moderate potential interaction with Psychosis.
Toxic psychosis manifested as confusion, disorientation, agitation, excitation, memory impairment, delusions and hallucinations may develop at toxic and therapeutic dosages of antimuscarinic agents. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients with mental disorders receiving antimuscarinic agents for control of drug-induced extrapyramidal effects, especially at the beginning of therapy or during dosage adjustment. Psychiatric deterioration and psychotic flare-ups have also been reported following withdrawal of therapy. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, aggression or violent behavior, and suicidal tendencies. In high dosages, antimuscarinic agents may sometimes produce euphorigenic effects. For this reason, it can be a drug of abuse.
Pulmonary Impairment
Major:
daxibotulinumtoxinA
daxibotulinumtoxinA has a major potential interaction with Pulmonary Impairment.
Treatment with botulinum toxin products, including abobotulinumtoxinA, incobotulinumtoxinA, onabotulinumtoxinA, daxibotulinumtoxinA, letibotulinumtoxinA and others can result in swallowing and breathing difficulties and in general increased neuromuscular compromise. Deaths due to severe dysphagia or respiratory failure have been reported after treatment with botulinum toxin. Care should be exercised with using these products in patients with pre- existing swallowing or respiratory disorders or peripheral motor neuropathic diseases or neuromuscular disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), as they may be at increased risk of clinically significant effects including generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia and respiratory compromise. Patients treated with botulinum toxin may require immediate medical attention should they develop these complications. Caution is advised.
Tardive Dyskinesia
Major:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a major potential interaction with Tardive Dyskinesia.
Anticholinergic agents and agents with secondary anticholinergic activity may aggravate tardive dyskinesia or induce previously suppressed symptoms. Therapy with these agents should be avoided, if possible, or administered cautiously in patients with preexisting tardive dyskinesia, particularly in the elderly. If tardive dyskinesia symptoms develop or worsen during treatment with an anticholinergic agent, prompt withdrawal of therapy will provide better chances of improving the condition.
Urinary Retention
Major:
Quarzan
The clidinium in Quarzan has a major potential interaction with Urinary Retention.
In general, the use of anticholinergic agents is contraindicated in patients with urinary retention and bladder neck obstruction caused by prostatic hypertrophy. Dysuria may occur and may require catheterization. Also, anticholinergic drugs may aggravate partial obstructive uropathy. Caution is advised even when using agents with mild to moderate anticholinergic activity, particularly in elderly patients.
