Can you take Flavalta with Osilodrostat?

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.

Osilodrostat has a moderate potential interaction with Adrenal Insufficiency.

Osilodrostat lowers cortisol levels and can lead to hypocortisolism and sometimes life-threatening adrenal insufficiency. Patients should be evaluated for precipitating causes of hypocortisolism. Serum/plasma cortisol, 24-hour urine free cortisol, and patient's signs/symptoms should be monitored periodically during treatment. Osilodrostat should be decreased or temporarily discontinued if urine free cortisol levels fall below the target range, there is a rapid decrease in cortisol levels, and/or patients report hypocortisolism symptoms. Therapy should be stopped and exogenous glucocorticoid replacement therapy should be administered if serum/plasma cortisol levels are below the target range and patients have symptoms of adrenal insufficiency. Osilodrostat should be restarted at a lower dose when urine free cortisol and serum/plasma cortisol levels are within the target range, and/or patient symptoms have resolved.

Osilodrostat has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.

The use of osilodrostat is associated with a dose-dependent QT interval prolongation, which may cause cardiac arrhythmias. It is recommended to perform an ECG to obtain a baseline QTc interval measurement before starting therapy and to monitor for an effect on the QTc interval thereafter. Temporary discontinuation of osilodrostat should be considered in the case of an increase in QTc interval greater than 480 milliseconds. Hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia should be corrected before initiating treatment and monitored regularly during treatment. Electrolyte abnormalities should be corrected if indicated. Care should be exercised when using this agent in patients with risk factors for QT prolongation and more frequent ECG monitoring should be considered.

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.

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.

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.

Osilodrostat has a moderate potential interaction with Electrolyte Abnormalities.

The use of osilodrostat is associated with a dose-dependent QT interval prolongation, which may cause cardiac arrhythmias. It is recommended to perform an ECG to obtain a baseline QTc interval measurement before starting therapy and to monitor for an effect on the QTc interval thereafter.

The lidocaine in Flavalta has a major potential interaction with Heart Block.

The use of lidocaine is contraindicated in patients with Stokes-Adam syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome, or second- or third-degree AV block in the absence of a functional artificial pacemaker, or congenital QT prolongation.

The lidocaine in Flavalta has a major potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Antiarrhythmic agents can induce severe hypotension (particularly with IV administration) or induce or worsen congestive heart failure (CHF). Patients with primary cardiomyopathy or inadequately compensated CHF are at increased risk. Antiarrhythmic agents should be administered cautiously and dosage and/or frequency of administration modified in patients with hypotension or adequately compensated CHF. Alternative therapy should be considered unless these conditions are secondary to cardiac arrhythmia.

The lidocaine in Flavalta has a moderate potential interaction with Hyperkalemia.

Electrolyte imbalance can alter the therapeutic effectiveness of antiarrhythmic agents. Hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia can reduce the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic agents. In some cases, these disorders can exaggerate the degree of QTc prolongation and increase the potential for torsade de pointes. Hyperkalemia can potentiate the toxic effects of antiarrhythmic agents. Electrolyte imbalance should be corrected prior to initiating antiarrhythmic therapy. Clinical monitoring of cardiac function and electrolyte concentrations is recommended.

The lidocaine in Flavalta has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

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. GX accumulates during prolonged intravenous lidocaine infusion. The pharmacokinetic disposition of lidocaine is altered by changes in hepatic function, including hepatic blood flow. Therapy with lidocaine should be administered cautiously and dosing modifications for repeated or loading and maintenance doses may be necessary. Clinical monitoring of cardiac (continuous ECG) is required and serum metabolite concentrations and monitoring hepatic function are recommended.

Osilodrostat has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Dosage adjustment of osilodrostat is required for patients with moderate to severe liver dysfunction. The recommended starting dose for patients with moderate liver dysfunction is 1 mg orally twice a day, and for patients with severe liver dysfunction is 1 mg orally once a day in the evening. No dose adjustment is required in patients with mild liver dysfunction. More frequent monitoring of adrenal function may be needed during dose titration in all patients with liver dysfunction.

The lidocaine in Flavalta has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

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. GX accumulates during prolonged intravenous lidocaine infusion. Serum concentrations of lidocaine and the active metabolites are increased and the half-life prolonged in patients with renal impairment. Therapy with lidocaine should be administered cautiously and dosing modified for repeated or maintenance doses in patients with compromised renal function. Clinical monitoring of cardiac function (continual ECG) is required and serum metabolite concentrations and monitoring renal function are recommended.

Osilodrostat has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

No dosage adjustment of osilodrostat is required for patients with impaired renal function. However, in patients with moderate to severe renal dysfunction, urinary free cortisol (UFC) levels should be interpreted with caution due to reduced UFC excretion.

The lidocaine in Flavalta has a major potential interaction with Seizures.

Seizures have occurred during lidocaine therapy and have been associated with the rapid administration of a large intravenous doses or accumulation of active metabolites with maintenance therapy. Therapy with lidocaine should be administered cautiously to patients with or predisposed to seizure disorders. Clinical monitoring of cardiac (continuous ECG) is required, and serum metabolite concentrations are recommended.
