Interactions between your drugs
papaverine buprenorphine
Applies to: IFE-Bimix 30 / 1 (papaverine / phentolamine) and Suboxone (buprenorphine / naloxone)
Before getting treatment with papaverine, let your doctor know if you are currently using buprenorphine. Combining these medications can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a relatively rare side effect. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks, but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications, whether together or alone. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
papaverine phentolamine
Applies to: IFE-Bimix 30 / 1 (papaverine / phentolamine) and IFE-Bimix 30 / 1 (papaverine / phentolamine)
Using papaverine and phentolamine together may lead to increased side effects, such as low blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, and/or priapism (prolonged and painful erection unrelated to sexual activity). Your doctor may already be aware of the risks but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you, has taken appropriate precautions, and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
phentolamine buprenorphine
Applies to: IFE-Bimix 30 / 1 (papaverine / phentolamine) and Suboxone (buprenorphine / naloxone)
Phentolamine and buprenorphine may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. These side effects are most likely to be seen at the beginning of treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after an interruption. Let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms and they do not go away after a few days or they become troublesome. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

In severe cases, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, fainting, coma, or even death may occur. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed.
