Can you take Fostamatinib with Zotex-DM?

The chlorpheniramine in Zotex-DM has a moderate potential interaction with Asthma.

It has been suggested that the anticholinergic effect of antihistamines may reduce the volume and cause thickening of bronchial secretions, resulting in obstruction of respiratory tract. Some manufacturers and clinicians recommend that therapy with antihistamines be administered cautiously in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The phenylephrine in Zotex-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 Zotex-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.

The chlorpheniramine in Zotex-DM has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Antihistamines may infrequently cause cardiovascular adverse effects related to their anticholinergic and local anesthetic (quinidine-like) activities. Tachycardia, palpitation, ECG changes, arrhythmias, hypotension, and hypertension have been reported. Although these effects are uncommon and usually limited to overdosage situations, the manufacturers and some clinicians recommend that therapy with antihistamines be administered cautiously in patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and/or hyperthyroidism.

Some manufacturers and clinicians recommend that therapy with antihistamines be administered cautiously in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The phenylephrine in Zotex-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.

Fostamatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Diarrhea.

The use of fostamatinib may cause diarrhea. Monitor patients for the development of diarrhea during treatment with fostamatinib. It is recommended to manage diarrhea using supportive care measures, including dietary changes, hydration and/or antidiarrheal medication, early after the onset of symptoms. Interrupt, dose reduce, or discontinue treatment if diarrhea becomes severe (Grade 3 or above). Care should be exercised when using this agent in patients with diarrhea.

The chlorpheniramine in Zotex-DM has a moderate potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Obstruction.

Antihistamines often have anticholinergic activity, to which elderly patients are particularly sensitive. Therapy with antihistamines should be administered cautiously, if at all, in patients with preexisting conditions that are likely to be exacerbated by anticholinergic activity, such as urinary retention or obstruction; angle-closure glaucoma, untreated intraocular hypertension, or uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma; and gastrointestinal obstructive disorders. Conventional, first-generation antihistamines such as the ethanolamines (bromodiphenhydramine, carbinoxamine, clemastine, dimenhydrinate, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, phenyltoloxamine) tend to exhibit substantial anticholinergic effects. In contrast, the newer, relatively nonsedating antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine, fexofenadine, loratadine) reportedly have low to minimal anticholinergic activity at normally recommended dosages and may be appropriate alternatives.

The chlorpheniramine in Zotex-DM has a moderate potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.

The phenylephrine in Zotex-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.

Fostamatinib has a moderate potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.

The use of fostamatinib may cause hypertension. It is recommended to monitor blood pressure every 2 weeks until stable, then monthly and to adjust or initiate antihypertensive therapy to ensure maintenance of blood pressure control during treatment. If increased blood pressure persists despite appropriate therapy, therapy interruption, reduction or discontinuation may be necessary. Caution should be exercised when using this agent in patients with pre-existing hypertension as they may be more susceptible to the hypertensive effects of fostamatinib.

The phenylephrine in Zotex-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.

Fostamatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The use of fostamatinib may result in elevated liver function tests, mainly ALT and AST. It is recommended to monitor liver function tests monthly during treatment. Treatment with fostamatinib should be interrupted, reduced, or discontinued if ALT or AST increase more than 3 × ULN. Use care using this agent in patients with liver problems.

The chlorpheniramine in Zotex-DM has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Limited pharmacokinetic data are available for the older, first-generation antihistamines. Many appear to be primarily metabolized by the liver, and both parent drugs and metabolites are excreted in the urine. Patients with renal and/or liver disease may be at greater risk for adverse effects from antihistamines due to drug and metabolite accumulation. Therapy with antihistamines should be administered cautiously in such patients. Lower initial dosages may be appropriate.

Fostamatinib has a moderate potential interaction with Neutropenia.

Neutropenia has been reported in patients treated with fostamatinib. It is recommended to monitor the ANC monthly, and for infection during treatment and manage toxicity with treatment interruption, reduction or discontinuation.
