Drug interactions
Moderate drug interactions
Moderate:
chromic chloride hexahydrate insulin aspart protamine
Applies to: Multiple Trace Element (trace elements) and insulin aspart protamine
Talk to your doctor before using chromic chloride hexahydrate if you are diabetic. Depending on the dose and formulation, regular use of chromic chloride hexahydrate may help control blood glucose levels in some patients, which may lead to a reduction in your dosage requirement of insulin aspart protamine or any other diabetic medications you are receiving. Your blood glucose should be closely monitored so that medications may be adjusted accordingly by your doctor. Let your doctor know if you experience hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, confusion, tremor, nausea, hunger, weakness, perspiration, palpitation, and rapid heartbeat. 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.
Food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate:
insulin aspart protamine Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: insulin aspart protamine
Alcohol may affect blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur, depending on how much and how often you drink. You should avoid using alcohol if your diabetes is not well controlled or if you have high triglycerides, neuropathy (nerve damage), or pancreatitis. Moderate alcohol consumption generally does not affect blood glucose levels if your diabetes is under control. However, it may be best to limit alcohol intake to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men (1 drink = 5 oz wine, 12 oz beer, or 1.5 oz distilled spirits) in conjunction with your normal meal plan. Avoid drinking alcohol on an empty stomach or following exercise, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. 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.
Disease interactions
13 potential interactions Applies to: 10 conditions, including Hypokalemia, Adrenal Insufficiency, Liver Disease, Autonomic Neuropathy, and Anorexia/Feeding Problems.
Adrenal Insufficiency
Moderate:
insulin aspart protamine
Insulin aspart protamine has a moderate potential interaction with Adrenal Insufficiency.
Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
Anorexia/Feeding Problems
Moderate:
insulin aspart protamine
Insulin aspart protamine has a moderate potential interaction with Anorexia/Feeding Problems.
Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
Autonomic Neuropathy
Moderate:
insulin aspart protamine
Insulin aspart protamine has a moderate potential interaction with Autonomic Neuropathy.
Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
Biliary Obstruction
Moderate:
Multiple Trace Element
The copper sulfate and manganese sulfate in Multiple Trace Element both have a moderate potential interaction with Biliary Obstruction.
The trace elements, copper and manganese, are excreted in the bile. Copper and manganese doses may need to be adjusted, reduced, or omitted in patients with liver disease or biliary obstruction.
Hypokalemia
Moderate:
insulin aspart protamine
Insulin aspart protamine has a moderate potential interaction with Hypokalemia.
Hypokalemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin. Use with caution in patients who may be particularly at risk of developing hypokalemia (e.g., patients using potassium-lowering medications, patients taking medications sensitive to serum potassium concentrations).
Liver Disease
Moderate:
insulin aspart protamine
Insulin aspart protamine has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Insulin requirements may be diminished in patients with renal or hepatic impairment due to reduced insulin metabolism and, in the latter case, also to reduced capacity for gluconeogenesis. Lower initial dosages may be appropriate, with careful monitoring of plasma glucose levels and dosing adjustments.
Moderate:
Multiple Trace Element
The copper sulfate and manganese sulfate in Multiple Trace Element both have a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
The trace elements, copper and manganese, are excreted in the bile. Copper and manganese doses may need to be adjusted, reduced, or omitted in patients with liver disease or biliary obstruction.
Malabsorption Syndrome
Moderate:
Multiple Trace Element
The chromic chloride hexahydrate, copper sulfate, manganese sulfate and zinc sulfate in Multiple Trace Element all have a moderate potential interaction with Malabsorption Syndrome.
The trace metals manganese, chromium, copper, selenium, and zinc are absorbed in the GI tract from dietary sources and following administration of oral supplements. GI absorption may be decreased in patients with malabsorption syndromes. Therefore, larger dosages may be required when these supplements are given orally. Parenteral administration may be appropriate.
Malnourishment
Moderate:
insulin aspart protamine
Insulin aspart protamine has a moderate potential interaction with Malnourishment.
Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
Panhypopituitarism
Moderate:
insulin aspart protamine
Insulin aspart protamine has a moderate potential interaction with Panhypopituitarism.
Hypoglycemia may commonly occur during treatment with insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic agents. Care should be taken in patients who may be particularly susceptible to the development of hypoglycemic episodes during the use of these drugs, including those who are debilitated or malnourished, those with defective counterregulatory mechanisms (e.g., autonomic neuropathy and adrenal or pituitary insufficiency), and those receiving beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
Renal Dysfunction
Moderate:
insulin aspart protamine
Insulin aspart protamine has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Insulin requirements may be diminished in patients with renal or hepatic impairment due to reduced insulin metabolism and, in the latter case, also to reduced capacity for gluconeogenesis. Lower initial dosages may be appropriate, with careful monitoring of plasma glucose levels and dosing adjustments.
Moderate:
Multiple Trace Element
The chromic chloride hexahydrate and zinc sulfate in Multiple Trace Element both have a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
The trace metals, chromium and zinc, are excreted primarily in the urine. Selenium is partially excreted in the urine. Supplemental doses of these agents may need to be adjusted, reduced, or omitted in patients with renal dysfunction.
Moderate:
Multiple Trace Element
The manganese sulfate in Multiple Trace Element has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Manganese sulfate and manganese chloride preparations contain aluminum and may reach toxic levels with prolonged parenteral administration if kidney function is impaired. Premature neonates are particularly at risk because their kidneys are immature, and they require large amounts of calcium and phosphate solutions, which also contain aluminum. Patients with impaired kidney function, including premature neonates, who receive parenteral levels of aluminum at greater than 4 to 5 mcg/kg/day accumulate aluminum at levels associated with central nervous system and bone toxicity. Tissue loading may occur at even lower rates of administration. Caution is advised in patients with renal impairment, particularly in premature or neonates patients.
