Can you take Somatropin with Zotex-DM?

Somatropin has a major potential interaction with Acute Abdomen.

Treatment with somatropin and somatrogon is contraindicated in patients with acute critical illness due to any complications following open heart surgery, abdominal surgery, multiple trauma, or acute respiratory failure. Patients with these conditions have an increased risk of mortality.

The chlorpheniramine in Zotex-DM 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.

The phenylephrine in Zotex-DM 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.

Somatropin has a major potential interaction with Bladder Cancer.

Somatropin and somatrogon are contraindicated in the presence of any active malignancy. Any preexistent malignancy should be inactive and its treatment should be completed prior to somatropin therapy. This includes the presence of any intracranial tumor. Somatropin and somatrogon should be discontinued if there is any evidence of recurrence.

Somatropin has a major potential interaction with Brain Tumor.

Somatropin and somatrogon are contraindicated in the presence of any active malignancy.

The phenylephrine in Zotex-DM 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.

The chlorpheniramine in Zotex-DM has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

Antihistamines may infrequently cause cardiovascular adverse effects related to their anticholinergic and local anesthetic (quinidine-like) activities. Tachycardia, palpitation, ECG changes, arrhythmias, hypotension, and hypertension have been reported. Although these effects are uncommon and usually limited to overdosage situations, the manufacturers and some clinicians recommend that therapy with antihistamines be administered cautiously in patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and/or hyperthyroidism.

The phenylephrine in Zotex-DM 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.

Somatropin has a major potential interaction with Diabetic Retinopathy.

Somatropin, somatrogon , and lonapegsomatropin are contraindicated in patients with active proliferative or severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy since treatment may worsen condition.

The chlorpheniramine in Zotex-DM 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.

The phenylephrine in Zotex-DM has a moderate potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.

Sympathomimetic agents can induce transient mydriasis via stimulation of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors. In patients with anatomically narrow angles or narrow-angle glaucoma, pupillary dilation can provoke an acute attack. In patients with other forms of glaucoma, mydriasis may occasionally increase intraocular pressure. Therapy with sympathomimetic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to glaucoma, particularly narrow-angle glaucoma.

The chlorpheniramine in Zotex-DM has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.

Limited pharmacokinetic data are available for the older, first-generation antihistamines. Many appear to be primarily metabolized by the liver, and both parent drugs and metabolites are excreted in the urine. Patients with renal and/or liver disease may be at greater risk for adverse effects from antihistamines due to drug and metabolite accumulation. Therapy with antihistamines should be administered cautiously in such patients. Lower initial dosages may be appropriate.

Somatropin has a major potential interaction with Lung Cancer.

Somatropin and somatrogon are contraindicated in the presence of any active malignancy. Any preexistent malignancy should be inactive and its treatment should be completed prior to somatropin therapy. This includes the presence of any intracranial tumor. Somatropin and somatrogon should be discontinued if there is any evidence of recurrence.

Somatropin has a moderate potential interaction with Papilledema Associated with Increased Intracranial Pressure.

Intracranial hypertension with papilledema, visual changes, nausea and/or vomiting has been reported in a small number of patients treated with somatropin, somatrogon , and lonapegsomatropin . Fundoscopic examination should be performed before treatment initiation to exclude preexisting papilledema, and should be continued periodically during treatment. If papilledema is observed during treatment, therapy should be stopped. Treatment could be restarted at a lower dose once intracranial hypertension has been resolved. Patients with Turner Syndrome might be at increased risk of developing intracranial hypertension.

Somatropin has a moderate potential interaction with Scoliosis.

Progression of scoliosis can occur in patients who experience rapid growth. Since somatropin and somatrogon increase growth rate, children with a history of scoliosis should be monitored for progression of this condition. Physicians should be alert for this skeletal abnormality which can be commonly seen in patients with Turner and Prader-Willi syndromes, and can manifest during somatropin and somatrogon treatment.

Somatropin has a moderate potential interaction with Underactive Thyroid.

The use of growth hormone has been associated with the development of hypothyroidism. Patients should be monitored baseline and periodically for adequate thyroid function. Inadequate treatment of hypothyroidism may inhibit the optimal response to growth hormone.
