Disease interactions
11 potential interactions Applies to: 11 conditions, including Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Hyperthyroidism, Heart Disease, Diabetes Mellitus, and Bleeding Disorder.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Moderate:
naphazoline nasal
Naphazoline nasal has a moderate potential interaction with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
Topically applied sympathomimetic agents are systemically absorbed, with the potential for producing clinically significant systemic effects, particularly during prolonged or indiscriminate use. In patients with prostate enlargement, urinary difficulty may develop or worsen due to smooth muscle contraction in the bladder neck via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therapy with topical sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertrophy or neoplasm of the prostate. It is important that the recommended dosages of the individual products not be exceeded.
Bleeding Associated with Coagulation Defect
Major:
Dextran 40
The dextran, low molecular weight in Dextran 40 has a major potential interaction with Bleeding Associated with Coagulation Defect.
The use of dextran is contraindicated in patients with marked hemostatic defects of all types (thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, etc.) including those caused by drugs such as heparin, warfarin, etc.
Bleeding Disorder
Moderate:
Dextran 40
The dextran, low molecular weight in Dextran 40 has a moderate potential interaction with Bleeding Disorder.
Caution should be employed when using dextran (low and high molecular weight) in patients with active hemorrhage as the resulting increase in perfusion pressure and improved microcirculatory flow may result in additional blood loss.
Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders
Moderate:
naphazoline nasal
Naphazoline nasal has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.
Topically applied sympathomimetic agents are systemically absorbed, with the potential for producing clinically significant systemic effects, particularly during prolonged or indiscriminate use. 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, and coronary occlusion have been reported rarely during the use of ophthalmic and nasal sympathomimetic agents, but may be more likely if the corneal epithelium is damaged or if an excessive amount of drug is swallowed during nasal administration. Therapy with topical sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with corneal abrasion, sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, or underlying cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders, especially coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmia, or hypertension. The potent ophthalmic formulations (e.g., phenylephrine 2.5% or 10%) that are used for diagnostic and pre-surgical purposes should not be used in such patients. For other preparations, it is important that the recommended dosages of the individual products not be exceeded.
Cerebrovascular Insufficiency
Moderate:
naphazoline nasal
Naphazoline nasal has a moderate potential interaction with Cerebrovascular Insufficiency.
Topically applied sympathomimetic agents are systemically absorbed, with the potential for producing clinically significant systemic effects, particularly during prolonged or indiscriminate use. 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, and coronary occlusion have been reported rarely during the use of ophthalmic and nasal sympathomimetic agents, but may be more likely if the corneal epithelium is damaged or if an excessive amount of drug is swallowed during nasal administration.

For other preparations, it is important that the recommended dosages of the individual products not be exceeded.
Diabetes Mellitus
Moderate:
naphazoline nasal
Naphazoline nasal has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.
Topically applied sympathomimetic agents are systemically absorbed, particularly during prolonged or indiscriminate use. Slight increases in blood glucose concentrations may occur with the use of these drugs. Therapy with topical sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus. Closer monitoring of blood glucose concentrations may be appropriate. It is important that the recommended dosages of the individual products not be exceeded.
Heart Disease
Major:
Dextran 40
The dextran, low molecular weight in Dextran 40 has a major potential interaction with Heart Disease.
Low molecular weight and high molecular weight dextran is contraindicated in patients with marked cardiac decompensation.
Hyperthyroidism
Moderate:
naphazoline nasal
Naphazoline nasal has a moderate potential interaction with Hyperthyroidism.
Topically applied sympathomimetic agents are systemically absorbed, with the potential for producing clinically significant systemic effects, particularly during prolonged or indiscriminate use. 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.

For other preparations, it is important that the recommended dosages of the individual products not be exceeded.
Prostate Tumor, Benign
Moderate:
naphazoline nasal
Naphazoline nasal has a moderate potential interaction with Prostate Tumor, Benign.
Topically applied sympathomimetic agents are systemically absorbed, with the potential for producing clinically significant systemic effects, particularly during prolonged or indiscriminate use. In patients with prostate enlargement, urinary difficulty may develop or worsen due to smooth muscle contraction in the bladder neck via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therapy with topical sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertrophy or neoplasm of the prostate.

Major:
Dextran 40
The dextran, low molecular weight in Dextran 40 has a major potential interaction with Thrombocytopenia.
The use of dextran is contraindicated in patients with marked hemostatic defects of all types (thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, etc.) including those caused by drugs such as heparin, warfarin, etc.
