Disease interactions

8 potential interactions Applies to: 7 conditions, including Seizures, Arrhythmia, Liver Disease, Heart Block, and Shock.

Arrhythmia

Moderate:

Fish Oil

The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in Fish Oil has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.

Cases of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) or flutter have been reported with the use of omega-3 fatty acids in patients with a symptomatic paroxysmal AF or persistent AF. This condition is more apparent within the first 2 to 3 months after the initiation of therapy. Therapy with these agents should be administered cautiously in patients with cardiac conduction disorders.

Heart Block

Major:

Lidotrans 5 Pak

The lidocaine topical in Lidotrans 5 Pak has a major potential interaction with Heart Block.

Lidocaine is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes following topical administration. Prolonged exposure, large doses, frequent applications and/or use on compromised skin or mucosa can produce systemic effects. At high plasma levels, lidocaine can cause hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously in patients with shock, sinus bradyarrhythmia, or severe heart block. The recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Children and debilitated, elderly, or acutely ill patients should be given reduced dosages commensurate with their age, weight, and physical condition.

Liver Disease

Major:

Lidotrans 5 Pak

The lidocaine topical in Lidotrans 5 Pak has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Lidocaine is rapidly and extensively metabolized by the liver. Less than 10% is eliminated unchanged in the urine. Several inactive and two active forms (MEGX and GX) have been identified. MEGX and GX exhibit antiarrhythmic and convulsant properties. The pharmacokinetic disposition of lidocaine is altered by changes in hepatic function, including hepatic blood flow. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously and dosing modified for patients with compromised hepatic function.

Moderate:

Fish Oil

The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in Fish Oil has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels have been observed in patients receiving omega-3 fatty acids. Therapy with omega-3 fatty acid preparations should be administered cautiously in patients with hepatic impairment. Serum liver enzyme levels should be monitored periodically.

Renal Dysfunction

Major:

Lidotrans 5 Pak

The lidocaine topical in Lidotrans 5 Pak has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Lidocaine is primarily eliminated by the kidney. Less than 10% is eliminated unchanged in the urine. Two active metabolites (MEGX and GX) have been identified that exhibit antiarrhythmic and convulsant properties. Serum concentrations of lidocaine and the active metabolites are increased and the half-life prolonged in patients with renal impairment. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously and dosing modified for repeated doses in patients with compromised renal function.

Seizures

Major:

Lidotrans 5 Pak

The lidocaine topical in Lidotrans 5 Pak has a major potential interaction with Seizures.

Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Seizures can occur as a result of accumulation of active metabolites. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously to patients with or predisposed to seizure disorders.

Shock

Major:

Lidotrans 5 Pak

The lidocaine topical in Lidotrans 5 Pak has a major potential interaction with Shock.

Lidocaine is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes following topical administration. Prolonged exposure, large doses, frequent applications and/or use on compromised skin or mucosa can produce systemic effects. At high plasma levels, lidocaine can cause hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously in patients with shock, sinus bradyarrhythmia, or severe heart block. The recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Children and debilitated, elderly, or acutely ill patients should be given reduced dosages commensurate with their age, weight, and physical condition.

Teething Syndrome

Major:

Lidotrans 5 Pak

The lidocaine topical in Lidotrans 5 Pak has a major potential interaction with Teething Syndrome.

Topical lidocaine is not recommended to be used in teething infants and young children, as its ingestion is dangerous and potentially fatal. Ingestion of the drug has shown to result in seizures, severe brain injury, and heart problems in children.

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.
