Disease interactions
6 potential interactions Applies to: 6 conditions, including Asthma, Osteoporosis, Diarrhea, Liver Disease, and Pseudomembranous Colitis.
Asthma
Major:
Ilevro
The nepafenac ophthalmic in Ilevro has a major potential interaction with Asthma.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are contraindicated in patients with history of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs; severe, sometimes fatal, anaphylactic reactions to NSAIDs have been reported in such patients. A subpopulation of patients with asthma may have aspirin-sensitive asthma which may include chronic rhinosinusitis complicated by nasal polyps, severe potentially fatal bronchospasm, and/or intolerance to aspirin and other NSAIDs. Since cross-reactivity between aspirin and other NSAIDs has been reported in such aspirin-sensitive patients, therapy with any NSAID should be avoided in patients with this form of aspirin sensitivity. NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with preexisting asthma (without known aspirin sensitivity), and these patients should be monitored for changes in the signs and symptoms of asthma.
Diarrhea
Major:
pantoprazole
Pantoprazole has a major potential interaction with Diarrhea.
Published observational studies suggest that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use may be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), especially in hospitalized patients. This diagnosis should be considered for diarrhea that does not improve. It is recommended that patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Close monitoring is recommended in patients with diarrhea and in those taking antibacterial agents as CDAD has been reported with the use of nearly all these agents. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C. difficile. C. difficile produces toxins A and B, which contribute to the development of CDAD. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
Liver Disease
Moderate:
pantoprazole
Pantoprazole has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Pantoprazole is primarily metabolized by the liver. In patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment, little drug accumulation has been observed following once-daily, multiple-dose administration. No dosage adjustments are necessary in these patients. However, data are limited concerning the pharmacokinetic disposition of pantoprazole in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Alternate-day dosing may be appropriate in some cases.
Magnesium Imbalance
Moderate:
pantoprazole
Pantoprazole has a moderate potential interaction with Magnesium Imbalance.
Symptomatic and asymptomatic hypomagnesemia has been reported rarely in patients treated with PPIs for at least 3 months, in most cases after a year of therapy. Serious adverse events can include tetany, seizures, and arrhythmias. Caution should be used in patients prone to magnesium imbalances such as patients taking other medications that can cause hypomagnesemia (e.g., diuretics). Regular monitoring is recommended.
Osteoporosis
Moderate:
pantoprazole
Pantoprazole has a moderate potential interaction with Osteoporosis.
Various published observational studies have reported that PPI therapy may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis related fractures of the hip, wrist or spine. The risk was increased in patients who received high doses (multiple daily doses), and long term treatment (a year or longer). Patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Caution should be used in patients at risk for osteoporosis related fractures and should be managed according to established treatment guidelines.
Pseudomembranous Colitis
Major:
pantoprazole
Pantoprazole has a major potential interaction with Pseudomembranous Colitis.
Published observational studies suggest that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use may be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), especially in hospitalized patients. This diagnosis should be considered for diarrhea that does not improve. It is recommended that patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Close monitoring is recommended in patients with diarrhea and in those taking antibacterial agents as CDAD has been reported with the use of nearly all these agents. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon, leading to overgrowth of C. difficile. C. difficile produces toxins A and B, which contribute to the development of CDAD. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
