Disease interactions

26 potential interactions Applies to: 24 conditions, including Allergies, Heart Failure, Asthma, COPD, and Hypotension.

Acidosis

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Acidosis.

Hyperkalemic renal tubular acidosis may occur in patients with metabolic acidosis receiving landiolol; beta-blockers have been reported to cause this condition. Acidosis in general may be associated with reduced cardiac contractility.

Allergies

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Allergies.

When using beta-blockers (like landiolol), patients at risk of anaphylactic reactions may be more reactive to allergen exposure (accidental, diagnostic, or therapeutic). Patients using beta-blockers may be unresponsive to the usual doses of epinephrine used to treat anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions.

Asthma

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Asthma.

Patients with reactive airways disease should generally not receive beta-blockers (like landiolol). Because of the relative beta-1 selectivity and titratability, landiolol may be titrated to the lowest possible effective dose. If bronchospasm occurs, the infusion should be stopped immediately; a beta-2 stimulating agent may be administered with appropriate monitoring of ventricular rates.

Moderate:

trimeprazine

Trimeprazine 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.

Cardiogenic Shock

Major:

landiolol

Landiolol has a major potential interaction with Cardiogenic Shock.

Landiolol is contraindicated in patients with cardiogenic shock as it may precipitate further cardiovascular collapse and cause cardiac arrest.

COPD

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with COPD.

Patients with reactive airways disease should generally not receive beta-blockers (like landiolol). Because of the relative beta-1 selectivity and titratability, landiolol may be titrated to the lowest possible effective dose. If bronchospasm occurs, the infusion should be stopped immediately; a beta-2 stimulating agent may be administered with appropriate monitoring of ventricular rates.

Moderate:

trimeprazine

Trimeprazine has a moderate potential interaction with COPD.

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.

Dehydration

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Dehydration.

Patients with hemodynamic compromise, hypovolemia, or on interacting medications are at increased risk of hypotension while taking landiolol. Blood pressure should be monitored closely, especially if pretreatment blood pressure was low. Landiolol should be reduced or stopped for hypotension; the blood pressure effect should wane within 30 minutes.

Diabetes Mellitus

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Landiolol may prevent early warning signs of hypoglycemia (e.g., tachycardia) and increase the risk for severe/prolonged hypoglycemia at any time during treatment, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus or patients who are fasting (e.g., surgery, not eating regularly, or are vomiting). Patients receiving landiolol should be monitored for signs/symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Gastrointestinal Obstruction

Moderate:

trimeprazine

Trimeprazine 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.

Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension

Moderate:

trimeprazine

Trimeprazine has a moderate potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.

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.

Heart Block

Major:

landiolol

Landiolol has a major potential interaction with Heart Block.

Landiolol is contraindicated in patients with severe sinus bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, or heart block greater than first degree. Patients with first-degree atrioventricular block, sinus node dysfunction, or conduction disorders are at increased risk of bradycardia (including sinus pause, heart block, severe bradycardia, and cardiac arrest). Heart rate and rhythm should be monitored in patients receiving landiolol. If bradyarrhythmia occurs, landiolol should be reduced or stopped.

Heart Failure

Major:

landiolol

Landiolol has a major potential interaction with Heart Failure.

Landiolol is contraindicated in patients with decompensated heart failure. Beta-blockers (like landiolol) can depress myocardial contractility and may precipitate heart failure and cardiogenic shock. At first sign/symptom of impending cardiac failure, landiolol should be stopped and supportive therapy should be started.

Hyperthyroidism

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Hyperthyroidism.

When landiolol is used in patients with hyperthyroidism, certain clinical signs (e.g., tachycardia) of hyperthyroidism may be masked by beta-adrenergic blockade. Abrupt withdrawal of beta-blockers may precipitate a thyroid storm. Patients should be monitored for signs of thyrotoxicosis when withdrawing landiolol therapy.

Hypoglycemia

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Hypoglycemia.

Landiolol may prevent early warning signs of hypoglycemia (e.g., tachycardia) and increase the risk for severe/prolonged hypoglycemia at any time during treatment, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus or patients who are fasting (e.g., surgery, not eating regularly, or are vomiting). Patients receiving landiolol should be monitored for signs/symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Hypotension

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Hypotension.

Patients with hemodynamic compromise, hypovolemia, or on interacting medications are at increased risk of hypotension while taking landiolol. Blood pressure should be monitored closely, especially if pretreatment blood pressure was low. Landiolol should be reduced or stopped for hypotension; the blood pressure effect should wane within 30 minutes.

Ischemic Heart Disease

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Ischemic Heart Disease.

Patients should be observed for signs of myocardial ischemia when discontinuing landiolol. Severe exacerbations of angina, myocardial infarction, and ventricular arrhythmias have been reported in patients with coronary artery disease following abrupt discontinuation of beta-blocker therapy.

Liver Disease

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The effect of moderate or severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh B or C) on landiolol pharmacokinetics is unknown; use of landiolol should be avoided in patients with moderate or severe liver dysfunction. In patients with mild liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh A), more conservative dose titration is recommended.

Myasthenia Gravis

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Myasthenia Gravis.

Beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agents (aka beta-blockers) may potentiate muscle weakness consistent with certain myasthenic symptoms such as diplopia, ptosis, and generalized weakness. Several beta-blockers have been associated rarely with aggravation of muscle weakness in patients with preexisting myasthenia gravis or myasthenic symptoms. Use cautiously in patients with myasthenia gravis.

Peripheral Arterial Disease

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Landiolol may exacerbate peripheral circulatory disorders (e.g., Raynaud's disease/syndrome) and peripheral occlusive vascular disease.

Pheochromocytoma

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Pheochromocytoma.

Administration of beta-blockers alone in the setting of pheochromocytoma has been associated with a paradoxical increase in blood pressure due to the attenuation of beta receptor-mediated vasodilatation in skeletal muscle. In patients with pheochromocytoma, an alpha-blocking agent should be initiated prior to the use of any beta-blocking agent. Caution should be taken in the administration of these agents to patients suspected of having pheochromocytoma.

Prinzmetal's Angina

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Prinzmetal's Angina.

Landiolol may exacerbate anginal attacks in patients with Prinzmetal angina due to unopposed alpha receptor-mediated coronary artery vasoconstriction.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Major:

landiolol

Landiolol has a major potential interaction with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.

Landiolol is contraindicated in patients with pulmonary hypertension as it may precipitate cardiorespiratory decompensation.

Renal Dysfunction

Moderate:

landiolol

Landiolol has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Landiolol can cause increases in serum potassium and hyperkalemia; the risk is increased in patients with risk factors such as renal dysfunction. Potentially life-threatening hyperkalemia has been reported in hemodialysis patients administered IV beta-blockers. Serum electrolytes should be monitored during landiolol therapy. The effect of renal dysfunction on landiolol pharmacokinetics is unknown.

Sinus Node Dysfunction

Major:

landiolol

Landiolol has a major potential interaction with Sinus Node Dysfunction.

Landiolol is contraindicated in patients with severe sinus bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, or heart block greater than first degree. Patients with first-degree atrioventricular block, sinus node dysfunction, or conduction disorders are at increased risk of bradycardia (including sinus pause, heart block, severe bradycardia, and cardiac arrest). Heart rate and rhythm should be monitored in patients receiving landiolol. If bradyarrhythmia occurs, landiolol should be reduced or stopped.

Urinary Retention

Moderate:

trimeprazine

Trimeprazine has a moderate potential interaction with Urinary Retention.

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.
