Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

chlorpheniramine dextromethorphan

Applies to: Sildec-PE DM Drops (chlorpheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine) and Sildec-PE DM Drops (chlorpheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine)

MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. Sedation and impairment of attention, judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills may increase.

MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Cautious dosage titration may be required, particularly at treatment initiation. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

phenylephrine deserpidine

Applies to: Sildec-PE DM Drops (chlorpheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine) and deserpidine

MONITOR: Sympathomimetic amines may decrease the hypotensive effect of postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents, while the latter may potentiate the pharmacologic effects of direct-acting sympathomimetic amines (e.g., dobutamine, epinephrine, methoxamine, norepinephrine) but inhibit those that are primarily indirect-acting (e.g., mephentermine). Postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents such as guanadrel, guanethidine, and rauwolfia alkaloids work by depleting catecholamine stores from adrenergic nerve endings. Therefore, they may sensitize adrenergic receptors to direct-acting sympathomimetics, but blunt the effects of indirect-acting agents whose activity is mediated through the release of catecholamines. Guanethidine and reserpine have been reported to attenuate the pharmacologic effects (mydriasis, pressor response) induced by ephedrine and dopamine, both of which exhibit direct and indirect sympathomimetic activities (i.e., mixed-acting). However, guanethidine intensified the mydriasis produced by phenylephrine, which is also thought to be mixed-acting. Conversely, ephedrine has been shown to partially reverse the hypotensive effect of guanethidine.

MANAGEMENT: Due to their pressor effect, sympathomimetic amines should be used cautiously in patients with hypertension. Alternatives to postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents should be considered if patients are treated with sympathomimetic amines, since effects of the latter may be intensified or diminished depending on whether they are direct- or indirect-acting. Most agents with indirect sympathomimetic activity are mixed-acting, thus it may be difficult to predict how they will be affected by postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents. If the combination is used, blood pressure and heart rate should be monitored.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

chlorpheniramine food

Applies to: Sildec-PE DM Drops (chlorpheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

phenylephrine food

Applies to: Sildec-PE DM Drops (chlorpheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine)

MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
