Disease interactions
28 potential interactions Applies to: 23 conditions, including Heart Failure, Seizures, Hypokalemia, Hypotension, and Hyperthyroidism.
Acidosis
Moderate:
Flavalta
The EPINEPHrine in Flavalta has a moderate potential interaction with Acidosis.
Acidosis, hypoxia, and hypercapnia may reduce the effectiveness of sympathomimetic amines in raising blood pressure. These conditions should be corrected before initiating therapy with sympathomimetic amines, if possible. Monitoring the patients acid-base balance, carbon dioxide levels, and oxygen saturation is recommended.
Cardiomyopathy
Moderate:
mobocertinib
Mobocertinib has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiomyopathy.
Mobocertinib can cause cardiac toxicity (including decreased ejection fraction, cardiomyopathy, and congestive heart failure) resulting in heart failure which can be fatal. Cardiac function (including assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction) should be monitored at baseline and during therapy. Therapy should be withheld, the dose should be reduced, or mobocertinib should be discontinued based on the severity of decreased ejection fraction or heart failure.
Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders
Major:
Flavalta
The EPINEPHrine in Flavalta 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.
Dehydration
Major:
Flavalta
The EPINEPHrine in Flavalta has a major potential interaction with Dehydration.
The use of sympathomimetic amines has been infrequently associated with significant hypotension especially in dehydrated patients secondary to the drug's beta-2 mediated vasodilation. Hypovolemia should be corrected, if possible, before administering sympathomimetic amines. Blood pressure and ECG should be monitored at regular intervals. Monitoring of cardiac output and pulmonary wedge pressure may also be desired.
Diabetes Mellitus
Moderate:
Flavalta
The EPINEPHrine in Flavalta 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.
Electrolyte Abnormalities
Major:
mobocertinib
Mobocertinib has a major potential interaction with Electrolyte Abnormalities.
Mobocertinib can cause life-threatening QTc prolongation, including torsades de pointes, which can be fatal, and requires monitoring of QTc and electrolytes. QTc and electrolytes should be assessed at baseline and abnormalities in sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium should be corrected before starting mobocertinib. QTc and electrolytes should be monitored periodically during therapy. Monitoring frequency should be increased in patients with risk factors for QTc prolongation (such as patients with congenital long QT syndrome, heart disease, or electrolyte abnormalities); caution is recommended in these patients. Therapy should be withheld, the dose should be reduced, or mobocertinib should be discontinued based on the severity of QTc prolongation.
Heart Block
Major:
