Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

phenyl salicylate eptifibatide

Applies to: Uritact-EC (hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate) and Integrilin (eptifibatide)

MONITOR: Although aspirin is routinely given with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, be cognizant of the increased risk of bleeding associated with this combination due to the additive inhibitory effects of salicylates on platelet function. Arterial puncture sites may be most problematic.

MANAGEMENT: It is recommended that these drugs be used together only when indicated by skilled personnel who are qualified and equipped to detect and treat bleeding complications. Patients should be closely monitored for signs of bleeding, especially at arterial puncture sites. Therapy should be discontinued immediately if serious or uncontrollable bleeding or thrombocytopenia occurs.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

hyoscyamine food

Applies to: Uritact-EC (hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate)

GENERALLY AVOID: Use of anticholinergic agents with alcohol may result in sufficient impairment of attention so as to render driving and operating machinery more hazardous. In addition, the potential for abuse may be increased with the combination. The mechanism of interaction is not established but may involve additive depressant effects on the central nervous system. No effect of oral propantheline or atropine on blood alcohol levels was observed in healthy volunteers when administered before ingestion of a standard ethanol load. However, one study found impairment of attention in subjects given atropine 0.5 mg or glycopyrrolate 1 mg in combination with alcohol.

MANAGEMENT: Alcohol should generally be avoided during therapy with anticholinergic agents. Patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
