Disease interactions

26 potential interactions Applies to: 20 conditions, including Osteoporosis, Diarrhea, Hypokalemia, Anemia, and Peptic Ulcer.

Anemia

Major:

Proben-C

The probenecid in Proben-C has a major potential interaction with Anemia.

The manufacturer does not recommend the use of probenecid in patients with known blood dyscrasias. Aplastic anemia, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia and other anemia have been reported infrequently during administration of probenecid. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency may increase the risk of probenecid-induced hemolytic anemia.

Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts

Major:

Proben-C

The probenecid in Proben-C has a major potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

The manufacturer does not recommend the use of probenecid in patients with known blood dyscrasias. Aplastic anemia, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia and other anemia have been reported infrequently during administration of probenecid. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency may increase the risk of probenecid-induced hemolytic anemia.

Major:

Proben-C

The colchicine in Proben-C has a major potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.

The use of colchicine should be used with caution in patients with bone marrow suppression. Patients on long term therapy may require periodic blood counts.

Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders

Major:

Proben-C

The colchicine in Proben-C has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

The use of colchicine should be used with caution in patients with cardiac dysfunction. The possibility of cumulative effects of colchicine is increased in these patients.

Dehydration

Major:

Proben-C

The probenecid in Proben-C has a major potential interaction with Dehydration.

Probenecid may promote lithiasis by increasing uric acid concentration in the renal tubules. Adequate hydration is necessary during therapy. Patients who are dehydrated (e.g., due to severe diarrhea or vomiting) may be at increased risk for the development of uric acid kidney stones and should be encouraged to consume additional amounts of liquid or given intravenous fluid. In general, fluid intake sufficient to yield a daily urinary output of at least 2 liters is recommended. Maintenance of a slightly alkaline or neutral urine is also desirable.

Diarrhea

Major:

lansoprazole

Lansoprazole 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.

Major:

Proben-C

The probenecid in Proben-C has a major potential interaction with Diarrhea.

Probenecid may promote lithiasis by increasing uric acid concentration in the renal tubules. Adequate hydration is necessary during therapy. Patients who are dehydrated (e.g., due to severe diarrhea or vomiting) may be at increased risk for the development of uric acid kidney stones and should be encouraged to consume additional amounts of liquid or given intravenous fluid. In general, fluid intake sufficient to yield a daily urinary output of at least 2 liters is recommended. Maintenance of a slightly alkaline or neutral urine is also desirable.
