Can you take Flibanserin with Pramipexole?

Flibanserin has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.

The use of flibanserin is contraindicated along with the ingestion of alcohol, as it increases the risk of hypotension and syncope. It is important to assess the likelihood of the patient abstaining from alcohol, taking into account the current and past drinking behavior.

Pramipexole has a moderate potential interaction with Alcoholism.

Patients treated with pramipexole have reported falling asleep while engaged in activities of daily living, sometimes without warning signs of drowsiness. Before initiating treatment, advise patients of the potential to develop drowsiness and specifically ask about factors that may increase the risk for somnolence such as the use of concomitant sedating medications or alcohol, and the presence of sleep disorders.

Flibanserin has a major potential interaction with Hypotension.

The use of flibanserin can cause hypotension and syncope. The benefits and risks of therapy should be considered in patients with preexisting conditions that predispose to hypotension. Flibanserin should be used with caution in these patients.

Pramipexole has a moderate potential interaction with Hypotension.

Dopamine agonists may impair the systemic regulation of blood pressure, with resultant orthostatic hypotension at any time, but especially during dose escalation. Additionally, patients with Parkinson's disease may have an impaired capacity to respond to an orthostatic challenge. For these reasons, patients with Parkinson's disease (or restless legs syndrome) who are being treated with dopaminergic agonists typically require careful monitoring for signs/symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, especially during dose escalation, and should be advised of this risk.

Flibanserin has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Flibanserin may accumulate in patients with hepatic impairment. Therapy with flibanserin is contraindicated in patients with compromised hepatic function.

Pramipexole has a moderate potential interaction with Psychosis.

Ordinarily, patients with major psychotic disorder should not be treated with dopaminergic antiparkinsonian agents, because of the risk of exacerbating psychosis. Hallucinations and psychotic-like behavior have been reported with dopaminergic medications. In addition, certain medications used to treat psychosis may exacerbate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and may decrease the effectiveness of these drugs. The use of bromocriptine in patients with severe psychotic disorders is not recommended.

Pramipexole has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Pramipexole is eliminated by the kidneys, and approximately 90% of the drug is excreted unchanged in the urine. Renal insufficiency decreases the renal clearance and increases the half-life. Therapy with pramipexole should be administered cautiously and at a reduced dose in patients with compromised renal function. Pramipexole clearance is extremely low in dialysis patients, as a negligible amount of the drug is removed by it.

Pramipexole has a moderate potential interaction with Sleep Disorders.

Patients treated with pramipexole have reported falling asleep while engaged in activities of daily living, sometimes without warning signs of drowsiness. Before initiating treatment, advise patients of the potential to develop drowsiness and specifically ask about factors that may increase the risk for somnolence such as the use of concomitant sedating medications or alcohol, and the presence of sleep disorders.

Flibanserin has a major potential interaction with Syncope.

The use of flibanserin can cause hypotension and syncope. The benefits and risks of therapy should be considered in patients with preexisting conditions that predispose to hypotension. Flibanserin should be used with caution in these patients.
