Can you take Duraphen DM with Tolazoline?

Tolazoline has a moderate potential interaction with Acidosis.

The therapeutic efficacy of tolazoline in reducing persistent vasoconstriction and pulmonary hypertension may be pH dependent. Acidosis may decrease the efficacy of tolazoline.

Tolazoline has a moderate potential interaction with Alkalosis.

The histamine-releasing properties of tolazoline can stimulate gastric secretion resulting in hypochloremic alkalosis, stress ulcers, and GI bleeding. Therapy with tolazoline should be administered cautiously in patients with GI disorders such as gastritis, enteritis, or peptic ulcer disease.

The phenylephrine in Duraphen DM has a moderate potential interaction with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause or worsen urinary difficulty in patients with prostate enlargement due to smooth muscle contraction in the bladder neck via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertrophy or neoplasm of the prostate.

The phenylephrine in Duraphen DM 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.

Tolazoline has a major potential interaction with Cerebral Vascular Disorder.

The use of tolazoline is contraindicated in patients with coronary artery disease or insufficiency or following a cerebrovascular accident. Hypotension due to decreased peripheral vascular resistance results from direct relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and alpha adrenergic blockade. Heart rate and cardiac output are increased.

The phenylephrine in Duraphen DM has a major potential interaction with Cerebrovascular Insufficiency.

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.

The phenylephrine in Duraphen DM 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.

Tolazoline has a moderate potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage.

The histamine-releasing properties of tolazoline can stimulate gastric secretion resulting in hypochloremic alkalosis, stress ulcers, and GI bleeding. Therapy with tolazoline should be administered cautiously in patients with GI disorders such as gastritis, enteritis, or peptic ulcer disease.

The phenylephrine in Duraphen DM has a moderate potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.

Sympathomimetic agents can induce transient mydriasis via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. In patients with anatomically narrow angles or narrow-angle glaucoma, pupillary dilation can provoke an acute attack. In patients with other forms of glaucoma, mydriasis may occasionally increase intraocular pressure. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to glaucoma, particularly narrow-angle glaucoma.

The phenylephrine in Duraphen DM has a major potential interaction with Hyperthyroidism.

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.

Tolazoline has a major potential interaction with Ischemic Heart Disease.

The use of tolazoline is contraindicated in patients with coronary artery disease or insufficiency or following a cerebrovascular accident. Hypotension due to decreased peripheral vascular resistance results from direct relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and alpha adrenergic blockade. Heart rate and cardiac output are increased.

Tolazoline has a moderate potential interaction with Peptic Ulcer.

The histamine-releasing properties of tolazoline can stimulate gastric secretion resulting in hypochloremic alkalosis, stress ulcers, and GI bleeding. Therapy with tolazoline should be administered cautiously in patients with GI disorders such as gastritis, enteritis, or peptic ulcer disease.

The phenylephrine in Duraphen DM has a major potential interaction with Pheochromocytoma.

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.

The phenylephrine in Duraphen DM has a moderate potential interaction with Prostate Tumor, Benign.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause or worsen urinary difficulty in patients with prostate enlargement due to smooth muscle contraction in the bladder neck via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertrophy or neoplasm of the prostate.

Tolazoline has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Tolazoline is primarily eliminated by the kidney as unchanged drug. The serum concentration of tolazoline can be increased in patients with renal impairment. Therapy with tolazoline should be administered cautiously in patients with compromised renal function. Clinical monitoring of vital signs, blood gases, and renal function is recommended.
