Can you take Lisdexamfetamine with Primatene?

Lisdexamfetamine has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.

CNS stimulants (especially amphetamines) have a high potential for abuse and misuse, which can lead to development of a substance use disorder, including addiction. Misuse and abuse of CNS stimulants can result in overdose and death; this risk is increased with higher doses or unapproved methods of administration (e.g., snorting, injection). Before prescribing a CNS stimulant, each patient's risk for abuse, misuse, and addiction should be assessed. Throughout therapy, it is recommended to reassess each patient's risk and frequently monitor for signs/symptoms of abuse, misuse, and addiction. Therapy with CNS stimulants should be administered cautiously, if at all, in patients with a history of alcohol or substance abuse. The use of some agents is contraindicated in patients with a history of drug abuse.

Lisdexamfetamine has a major potential interaction with Anxiety and Stress.

Some CNS stimulants are contraindicated in patients with marked agitation and/or anxiety since these symptoms may be aggravated. CNS stimulants may also exacerbate symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder in psychotic patients, particularly children. Therapy with CNS stimulants should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of psychosis or a predisposition to agitated states.

The ePHEDrine in Primatene has a moderate potential interaction with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause or worsen urinary difficulty in patients with prostate enlargement due to smooth muscle contraction in the bladder neck via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertrophy or neoplasm of the prostate.

Lisdexamfetamine has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Many amphetamines and amphetamine-like drugs are contraindicated in patients with advanced arteriosclerosis, symptomatic or unstable cardiac or cerebrovascular disease, moderate to severe hypertension, or hyperthyroidism. Like other sympathomimetic amines, amphetamines may cause cardiovascular adverse effects such as palpitation, tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, and elevation of blood pressure. Rarely, cardiomyopathy manifested as ventricular hypertrophy and/or congestive heart failure has been reported during chronic amphetamine use. In addition, sudden death has been reported in association with amphetamine therapy at usual dosages in children with structural cardiac abnormalities. In general, amphetamines should not be used in patients with structural cardiac abnormalities. If not otherwise contraindicated, therapy with amphetamines should be administered cautiously in patients with a current or past history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease.

The ePHEDrine in Primatene has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause adverse cardiovascular effects, particularly when used in high dosages and/or in susceptible patients. In cardiac tissues, these agents may produce positive chronotropic and inotropic effects via stimulation of beta- 1 adrenergic receptors. Cardiac output, oxygen consumption, and the work of the heart may be increased. In the peripheral vasculature, vasoconstriction may occur via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. Palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmia, hypertension, reflex bradycardia, coronary occlusion, cerebral vasculitis, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and death have been reported. Some of these agents, particularly ephedra alkaloids (ephedrine, ma huang, phenylpropanolamine), may also predispose patients to hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should generally be avoided or administered cautiously in patients with sensitivity to sympathomimetic amines, hyperthyroidism, or underlying cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders. These agents should not be used in patients with severe coronary artery disease or severe/uncontrolled hypertension.

These agents should not be used in patients with severe coronary artery disease or severe/uncontrolled hypertension.

Lisdexamfetamine has a major potential interaction with Depression.

The use of CNS stimulants can cause psychotic symptoms, suicidal ideation, and aggression, and can exacerbate symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder; CNS stimulants may induce a manic or mixed episode in patients with bipolar disorder. Psychiatric symptoms have been reported in patients with and without history of psychiatric disorders. All patients (particularly those with psychotic or bipolar disorders) should be monitored closely, especially during treatment initiation and at times of dose changes. Extreme caution should be exercised when CNS stimulants are given to patients with a history of psychosis, depression, mania, or bipolar disorder. Prior to initiating therapy, all patients should be screened for risk factors for developing a manic episode (e.g., comorbid or history of depressive symptoms or family history of suicide, bipolar disease, or depression). If any psychiatric symptoms emerge or are exacerbated, treatment suspension should be considered. Some CNS stimulants are contraindicated in patients with marked agitation or anxiety.

The ePHEDrine in Primatene has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Sympathomimetic agents may cause increases in blood glucose concentrations. These effects are usually transient and slight but may be significant with dosages higher than those normally recommended. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus. Closer monitoring of blood glucose concentrations may be appropriate.

The ePHEDrine in Primatene has a moderate potential interaction with Diabetes Mellitus.

Ephedrine may produce slight increases in blood glucose concentrations. Therapy with ephedrine should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus. Closer monitoring of blood glucose concentrations may be appropriate. It is important that the recommended dosages of ephedrine are not exceeded.

Lisdexamfetamine has a major potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.

Some amphetamines and amphetamine-like drugs are contraindicated in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma or anatomically narrow angles. Like other sympathomimetic amines, amphetamines can induce transient mydriasis. In patients with narrow angles, pupillary dilation can provoke an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma. If possible, these agents should also be avoided in patients with other forms of glaucoma since mydriasis may occasionally increase intraocular pressure.

Lisdexamfetamine has a major potential interaction with Heart Disease.

Many amphetamines and amphetamine-like drugs are contraindicated in patients with advanced arteriosclerosis, symptomatic or unstable cardiac or cerebrovascular disease, moderate to severe hypertension, or hyperthyroidism.
