Disease interactions
59 potential interactions Applies to: 44 conditions, including High Blood Pressure, Depression, GERD, Vitamin D Deficiency, and Asthma.
Acute Alcohol Intoxication
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Acute Alcohol Intoxication.
The use of barbiturates is contraindicated in patients with acute alcohol intoxication exhibiting depressed vital signs. The central nervous system depressant effects of barbiturates may be additive with those of alcohol. Severe respiratory depression and death may occur. Therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in patients who might be prone to acute alcohol intake.
Adrenal Insufficiency
Moderate:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Adrenal Insufficiency.
Barbiturates, especially phenobarbital, secobarbital and butabarbital, may diminish the systemic effects of exogenous and endogenous corticosteroids via induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes, thereby accelerating the metabolism of corticosteroids. In addition, barbiturates may interfere with pituitary corticotropin production. Therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in patients with adrenal insufficiency. Patients with borderline hypoadrenalism should be monitored closely, and patients receiving steroid supplementation may require an adjustment in dosage when barbiturates are added to or withdrawn from their medication regimen.
Alcoholism
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.
Barbiturates have the potential to cause dependence and abuse. Tolerance as well as physical and psychological dependence can develop, particularly after prolonged use of excessive dosages. Abrupt cessation and/or a reduction in dosage may precipitate withdrawal symptoms. In patients who have developed tolerance to a barbiturate, overdosage can still produce respiratory depression and death, and cross-tolerance usually will occur with other agents in the class. Addiction-prone individuals, such as those with a history of alcohol or substance abuse, should be under careful surveillance or medical supervision when treated with barbiturates. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients. After prolonged use or if dependency is suspected, withdrawal of barbiturates should be undertaken gradually using a dosage-tapering schedule.
Major:
tenofovir disoproxil
The tenofovir in tenofovir disoproxil has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.
Hepatotoxicity including lactic acidosis, severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, fulminant hepatitis, and hepatic failure has been associated with the use of some nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) alone or in combination with other antiretroviral agents. Therapy with NRTIs should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting liver disease, a history of alcohol abuse, or hepatitis. Therapy should be suspended if clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity occur. The use of abacavir is contraindicated in patients with moderate to severe liver dysfunction as its safety and efficacy have not been established in these patients.
Altered Consciousness
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Altered Consciousness.
Barbiturates should not be administered by injection to patients in shock or coma or who have recently received another respiratory depressant. The hypnotic and hypotensive effects of these agents may be prolonged and intensified in such patients.
Arrhythmia
Moderate:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.
Antimuscarinic agents block vagal inhibition of the SA nodal pacemaker. These agents should be administered cautiously in patients with tachycardia, congestive heart failure, or coronary artery disease. Premature ventricular depolarization or ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation associated with antimuscarinic drugs is rare.
Moderate:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Arrhythmia.
Anticholinergics block vagal inhibition of the SA nodal pacemaker. Therapy with anticholinergics should be administered cautiously in patients with tachycardia, congestive heart failure, or coronary artery disease. Premature ventricular depolarization or ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation associated with anticholinergics is rare.
Asphyxia
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Asphyxia.
Barbiturates may produce severe respiratory depression, apnea, laryngospasm, bronchospasm and cough, particularly during rapid intravenous administration. In usual hypnotic dosages, the degree of respiratory depression produced is similar to that which occurs during physiologic sleep, while at higher dosages, the rate, depth and volume of respiration may be markedly decreased. However, some patients may be susceptible at commonly used dosages, including the elderly, debilitated or severely ill patients, those receiving other CNS depressants, and those with limited ventilatory reserve, chronic pulmonary insufficiency or other respiratory disorders. Therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in these patients. Appropriate monitoring and individualization of dosage are particularly important, and equipment for resuscitation should be immediately available if the parenteral route is used. Barbiturates, especially injectable formulations, should generally be avoided in patients with sleep apnea, hypoxia, or severe pulmonary diseases in which dyspnea or obstruction is evident.
Asthma
Major:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Asthma.
The use of systemic anticholinergics is contraindicated in the treatment of lower respiratory tract symptoms including asthma. Muscarinic receptor antagonists reduce bronchial secretions, which can result in decreased fluidity and increased thickening of secretions. However, ipratropium does not produce these effects and can be used safely in treating asthma.
Autonomic Neuropathy
Major:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Autonomic Neuropathy.
Agents with anticholinergic activity can exacerbate many of the manifestations of autonomic neuropathy, including tachycardia, anhidrosis, bladder atony, obstipation, dry mouth and eyes, cycloplegia and blurring of vision, and sexual impotence in males. Therapy with antimuscarinic agents and higher dosages of antispasmodic agents (e.g., dicyclomine or oxybutynin) should be administered cautiously in patients with autonomic neuropathy.
Bleeding Disorder
Moderate:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Bleeding Disorder.
Antimuscarinic agents may cause a delay in gastric emptying and possibly antral stasis in patients with gastric ulcer. Therapy with antimuscarinic agents should be administered cautiously to patients with gastric ulcer.
Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts
Moderate:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts.
Hematologic toxicity, including agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenic purpura and megaloblastic anemia, has been reported rarely during use of barbiturates. Therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting blood dyscrasias or bone marrow suppression. Blood counts are recommended prior to and periodically during long-term therapy, and patients should be instructed to immediately report any signs or symptoms suggestive of blood dyscrasia such as fever, sore throat, local infection, easy bruising, petechiae, bleeding, pallor, dizziness, or jaundice. Barbiturate therapy should be discontinued if blood dyscrasias occur.
Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders
Moderate:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.
Anticholinergics block vagal inhibition of the SA nodal pacemaker. Therapy with anticholinergics should be administered cautiously to patients with tachycardia, congestive heart failure, or coronary artery disease. Premature ventricular depolarization, ventricular tachycardia, and fibrillation associated with anticholinergics are rare.
Depression
Moderate:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Depression.
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication. Pooled analyses of 199 placebo-controlled clinical studies involving the use of 11 different AEDs showed that patients receiving AEDs had approximately twice the risk of suicidal thinking or behavior compared to patients receiving placebo. AEDs should be administered cautiously in patients with depression or other psychiatric disorders; phentermine-topiramate should be avoided in patients with history of suicidal attempts or active suicidal ideation. The risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior should be carefully assessed against the risk of untreated illness, bearing in mind that epilepsy and many other conditions for which AEDs are prescribed are themselves associated with morbidity and mortality and an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Patients, caregivers, and families should be alert to the emergence or worsening of signs and symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts or behavior. If patients have symptoms of suicidal ideation or behavior, a dosage reduction or treatment discontinuation should be considered.
Moderate:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Depression.
Barbiturates depress the central nervous system and may cause or exacerbate mental depression. Therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of depression or suicidal tendencies. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients.
Dermatitis, Drug-Induced
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Dermatitis, Drug-Induced.
Skin eruptions may precede rare but potentially fatal barbiturate-induced reactions such as systemic lupus erythematosus and exfoliative dermatitis, the latter of which may be accompanied by hepatitis and jaundice. Therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting drug-induced dermatitis, since it may delay the recognition of a potential reaction to barbiturates. Barbiturate therapy should be withdrawn promptly at the first sign of a dermatologic adverse effect. However, cutaneous reactions may proceed to an irreversible stage even after cessation of medication due to the slow rate of metabolism and excretion of barbiturates. Patients should be advised to promptly report signs that may indicate impending development of barbiturate-related cutaneous lesions, including high fever, severe headache, stomatitis, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, urethritis, and balanitis. Rashes may be more likely to occur with phenobarbital and mephobarbital.
Diarrhea
Minor:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a minor potential interaction with Diarrhea.
Diarrhea may be a symptom of incomplete intestinal obstruction, especially in patients with ileostomy or colostomy. Antimuscarinic agents may further aggravate the diarrhea. Therefore, these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with diarrhea.
Drug Dependence
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Drug Dependence.
Barbiturates have the potential to cause dependence and abuse. Tolerance as well as physical and psychological dependence can develop, particularly after prolonged use of excessive dosages. Abrupt cessation and/or a reduction in dosage may precipitate withdrawal symptoms. In patients who have developed tolerance to a barbiturate, overdosage can still produce respiratory depression and death, and cross-tolerance usually will occur with other agents in the class. Addiction-prone individuals, such as those with a history of alcohol or substance abuse, should be under careful surveillance or medical supervision when treated with barbiturates. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients. After prolonged use or if dependency is suspected, withdrawal of barbiturates should be undertaken gradually using a dosage-tapering schedule.
Esophageal Obstruction
Major:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Esophageal Obstruction.
Anticholinergics are contraindicated in patients with obstructive diseases such as achalasia, esophageal stricture or stenosis, pyloroduodenal stenosis, stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloric obstruction, and paralytic ileus. Anticholinergics may further suppress intestinal motility with resultant precipitation or aggravation of toxic megacolon.
Fever
Minor:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a minor potential interaction with Fever.
Atropine-like agents may increase the risk of hyperthermia in patients with fever by producing anhidrosis. Therapy with atropine-like agents should be administered cautiously in febrile patients.
Gastrointestinal Obstruction
Major:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Gastrointestinal Obstruction.
Anticholinergics are contraindicated in patients with obstructive diseases such as achalasia, esophageal stricture or stenosis, pyloroduodenal stenosis, stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloric obstruction, and paralytic ileus. Anticholinergics may further suppress intestinal motility with resultant precipitation or aggravation of toxic megacolon.
GERD
Moderate:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with GERD.
Antimuscarinic agents decrease gastric motility and relax the lower esophageal sphincter which promotes gastric retention and can aggravate reflux. These drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with gastroesophageal reflux or hiatal hernia associated with reflux esophagitis.
Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension
Major:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension.
Anticholinergic agents are contraindicated in patients with primary glaucoma, a tendency toward glaucoma (narrow anterior chamber angle), or adhesions (synechiae) between the iris and lens, as well as for the elderly and others in whom undiagnosed glaucoma or excessive pressure in the eye may be present. Because anticholinergics cause mydriasis, they may exacerbate these conditions.
Heart Disease
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Heart Disease.
The intravenous administration of barbiturates may produce severe cardiovascular reactions such as bradycardia, hypertension, or vasodilation with fall in blood pressure, particularly during rapid infusion. Parenteral therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertension, hypotension, or cardiac disease. The intravenous administration of barbiturates should be reserved for emergency treatment of acute seizures or for anesthesia.
High Blood Pressure
Major:
Spastrin
The ergotamine in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.
The use of ergot alkaloids is contraindicated in patients with conditions predisposing them to vasospastic reactions, including, ischemic heart disease (angina, history of myocardial infarction, silent ischemia), peripheral vascular disease, sepsis, shock, vascular surgery, uncontrolled hypertension, and severely impaired hepatic or renal function. The vasoconstriction produced be ergot alkaloids may exacerbate these conditions. Ergot alkaloids may cause vasospastic reactions other than coronary artery vasospasm such as peripheral vascular reactions, and colonic ischemia, causing muscle pains, numbness, coldness, pallor, and cyanosis of the digits. In patients with compromised circulation, persistent vasospasm may result in gangrene or death. Nitroprusside and heparin have been used to treat ergotamine- induced severe vasoconstriction.
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.
The intravenous administration of barbiturates may produce severe cardiovascular reactions such as bradycardia, hypertension, or vasodilation with fall in blood pressure, particularly during rapid infusion. Parenteral therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertension, hypotension, or cardiac disease. The intravenous administration of barbiturates should be reserved for emergency treatment of acute seizures or for anesthesia.
Minor:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a minor potential interaction with High Blood Pressure.
Cardiovascular effects of anticholinergics may exacerbate hypertension. Therapy with anticholinergic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertension.
Hyperkinetic Syndrome of Childhood
Moderate:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Hyperkinetic Syndrome of Childhood.
Paradoxical reactions characterized by excitability and restlessness may occur in pediatric patients with hyperactive aggressive disorders. Such patients should be monitored for signs of paradoxical stimulation during therapy with barbiturates.
Hyperthyroidism
Minor:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a minor potential interaction with Hyperthyroidism.
In general, agents with anticholinergic activity may exacerbate hyperthyroidism. Therapy with anticholinergics should be administered cautiously in patients with hyperthyroidism. Thyroid levels should be monitored if usage is prolonged.
Hypotension
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Hypotension.
The intravenous administration of barbiturates may produce severe cardiovascular reactions such as bradycardia, hypertension, or vasodilation with fall in blood pressure, particularly during rapid infusion. Parenteral therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertension, hypotension, or cardiac disease. The intravenous administration of barbiturates should be reserved for emergency treatment of acute seizures or for anesthesia.
Infectious Gastroenteritis
Major:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Infectious Gastroenteritis.
The use of drugs with antiperistaltic activity (primarily antidiarrheal and antimuscarinic agents, but also antispasmodic agents such as dicyclomine or oxybutynin at high dosages) is contraindicated in patients with diarrhea due to pseudomembranous enterocolitis or enterotoxin-producing bacteria. These drugs may prolong and/or worsen diarrhea associated with organisms that invade the intestinal mucosa, such as toxigenic E. coli, Salmonella and Shigella, and pseudomembranous colitis due to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Other symptoms and complications such as fever, shedding of organisms and extraintestinal illness may also be increased or prolonged. In general, because antiperistaltic agents decrease gastrointestinal motility, they may delay the excretion of infective gastroenteric organisms or toxins and should be used cautiously in patients with any infectious diarrhea, particularly if accompanied by high fever or pus or blood in the stool. Some cough and cold and other combination products may occasionally include antimuscarinic agents for their drying effects and may, therefore, require careful selection when necessary.
Infectious Hepatitis
Major:
tenofovir disoproxil
The tenofovir in tenofovir disoproxil has a major potential interaction with Infectious Hepatitis.
Severe acute exacerbations of HBV have been reported in HIV-1/HBV-coinfected patients who have discontinued products containing emtricitabine, lamivudine, and/or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DF) and may occur with discontinuation of tenofovir alafenamide-containing products. It is recommended that all patients with HIV-1 infection be tested for the presence of HBV before or when initiating products containing emtricitabine, lamivudine, tenofovir DF, or tenofovir alafenamide. Hepatic function should be monitored closely with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months in HIV-1/HBV-coinfected patients who discontinue products (including fixed-dose combination products) that contain emtricitabine, lamivudine, tenofovir DF, or tenofovir alafenamide. If appropriate, initiation or resumption of antihepatitis B therapy may be warranted, especially in patients with advanced liver disease or cirrhosis since posttreatment exacerbation of hepatitis may lead to hepatic decompensation and liver failure.
Ischemic Heart Disease
Major:
Spastrin
The ergotamine in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Ischemic Heart Disease.
The use of ergot alkaloids is contraindicated in patients with conditions predisposing them to vasospastic reactions, including, ischemic heart disease (angina, history of myocardial infarction, silent ischemia), peripheral vascular disease, sepsis, shock, vascular surgery, uncontrolled hypertension, and severely impaired hepatic or renal function. The vasoconstriction produced be ergot alkaloids may exacerbate these conditions. Ergot alkaloids may cause vasospastic reactions other than coronary artery vasospasm such as peripheral vascular reactions, and colonic ischemia, causing muscle pains, numbness, coldness, pallor, and cyanosis of the digits. In patients with compromised circulation, persistent vasospasm may result in gangrene or death. Nitroprusside and heparin have been used to treat ergotamine- induced severe vasoconstriction.
Moderate:

Major:
tenofovir disoproxil
The tenofovir in tenofovir disoproxil has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Hepatotoxicity including lactic acidosis, severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, fulminant hepatitis, and hepatic failure has been associated with the use of some nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) alone or in combination with other antiretroviral agents. Therapy with NRTIs should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting liver disease, a history of alcohol abuse, or hepatitis. Therapy should be suspended if clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity occur. The use of abacavir is contraindicated in patients with moderate to severe liver dysfunction as its safety and efficacy have not been established in these patients.
Moderate:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Atropine-like agents undergo significant hepatic metabolism. Therapy with atropine-like agents should be administered cautiously to patients with liver disease.
Moderate:
tenofovir disoproxil
The tenofovir in tenofovir disoproxil has a moderate potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Tenofovir alafenamide (as a single ingredient product) is not recommended in patients with decompensated liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh B or C); safety and efficacy have not been established in these patients. No dose adjustment of tenofovir alafenamide is required in patients with mild liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh A).
-Combination products containing tenofovir alafenamide have not been studied in patients with severe liver dysfunction; some of these products are not recommended for use in such patients. No dose adjustment of tenofovir alafenamide-containing products is required in patients with mild or moderate liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh A or B).
The pharmacokinetics of tenofovir after a single 300 mg dose of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DF) have been studied in non-HIV infected subjects with moderate to severe liver dysfunction. There were no significant changes in tenofovir pharmacokinetics in subjects with liver dysfunction compared to those with normal liver function. No adjustment in tenofovir DF dosing is required in patients with liver dysfunction.
Myasthenia Gravis
Major:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Myasthenia Gravis.
Because antimuscarinic agents have anticholinergic effects, they are contraindicated in patients with myasthenia gravis. Their use may be appropriate to reduce adverse muscarinic effects caused by an anticholinesterase agent.
Osteoporosis
Moderate:
tenofovir disoproxil
The tenofovir in tenofovir disoproxil has a moderate potential interaction with Osteoporosis.
In clinical trials, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DF) was associated with slightly greater reductions in bone mineral density (BMD) and increases in biochemical markers of bone metabolism, suggesting increased bone turnover relative to comparators. The effects of tenofovir DF-associated changes in BMD and biochemical markers on long-term bone health and future fracture risk have not been established. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation may be beneficial; however, the effect of such supplementation was not studied. Assessment of BMD should be considered for patients with history of pathologic bone fracture or other risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss. If bone abnormalities are suspected, appropriate consultation should be obtained.
Panhypopituitarism
Moderate:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Panhypopituitarism.
Barbiturates, especially phenobarbital, secobarbital and butabarbital, may diminish the systemic effects of exogenous and endogenous corticosteroids via induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes, thereby accelerating the metabolism of corticosteroids.

Porphyria
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Porphyria.
The use of barbiturates is contraindicated in patients with a history of porphyria. Barbiturates may exacerbate acute intermittent porphyria or porphyria variegata by inducing the enzymes responsible for porphyrin synthesis.
Psychosis
Moderate:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Psychosis.
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have been associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication. Pooled analyses of 199 placebo-controlled clinical studies involving the use of 11 different AEDs showed that patients receiving AEDs had approximately twice the risk of suicidal thinking or behavior compared to patients receiving placebo. AEDs should be administered cautiously in patients with depression or other psychiatric disorders; phentermine-topiramate should be avoided in patients with history of suicidal attempts or active suicidal ideation. The risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior should be carefully assessed against the risk of untreated illness, bearing in mind that epilepsy and many other conditions for which AEDs are prescribed are themselves associated with morbidity and mortality and an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Patients, caregivers, and families should be alert to the emergence or worsening of signs and symptoms of depression, any unusual changes in mood or behavior, or the emergence of suicidal thoughts or behavior. If patients have symptoms of suicidal ideation or behavior, a dosage reduction or treatment discontinuation should be considered.

The long-acting barbiturate, phenobarbital, is partially eliminated by the kidney. The plasma clearance of phenobarbital may be decreased and the half-life prolonged in patients with impaired renal function. Therapy with phenobarbital should be administered cautiously and initiated at reduced dosages in patients with renal impairment. Since approximately 75% of a mephobarbital dose is metabolized to phenobarbital, the same precaution should be observed with mephobarbital. The remaining barbiturates, which are short- and intermediate-acting, are all negligibly excreted in the urine and may be appropriate alternatives in these patients.
Moderate:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Atropine-like agents are primarily eliminated by the kidney. Therapy with atropine-like agents should be administered cautiously to patients with renal disease.
Moderate:
tenofovir disoproxil
The tenofovir in tenofovir disoproxil has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Tenofovir is primarily eliminated by the kidneys via glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. Serum creatinine, estimated CrCl, urine glucose, and urine protein should be assessed in all patients before/when starting tenofovir (alafenamide or disoproxil fumarate [DF]) and during therapy when clinically appropriate. Serum phosphorus should also be assessed in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Postmarketing cases of renal impairment (including acute renal failure, proximal renal tubulopathy, and Fanconi syndrome) have been reported with tenofovir alafenamide-containing products; most cases had potential confounders that may have contributed to the reported renal events and may have predisposed patients to tenofovir-related side effects. Tenofovir alafenamide should be discontinued in patients who develop clinically significant decreases in renal function or evidence of Fanconi syndrome.
Renal impairment (including acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome) has been reported with tenofovir DF. Close monitoring of renal function and dosing interval adjustment are recommended for all patients with CrCl less than 50 mL/min. Creatinine clearance should be calculated in all patients before starting tenofovir treatment and during treatment when clinically appropriate. Routine monitoring of serum creatinine and phosphorus is recommended for patients at risk of or with a history of renal dysfunction. Safety and efficacy have not been evaluated in patients with renal dysfunction using dose adjustments; therefore, the benefit of tenofovir DF treatment should be weighed against the risk of renal toxicity. Renal function should be evaluated in patients at risk of renal dysfunction who have persistent or worsening bone pain, pain in extremities, fractures, and/or muscular pain or weakness (may be indicators of proximal renal tubulopathy).
Respiratory Arrest
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Respiratory Arrest.
Barbiturates may produce severe respiratory depression, apnea, laryngospasm, bronchospasm and cough, particularly during rapid intravenous administration. In usual hypnotic dosages, the degree of respiratory depression produced is similar to that which occurs during physiologic sleep, while at higher dosages, the rate, depth and volume of respiration may be markedly decreased. However, some patients may be susceptible at commonly used dosages, including the elderly, debilitated or severely ill patients, those receiving other CNS depressants, and those with limited ventilatory reserve, chronic pulmonary insufficiency or other respiratory disorders. Therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in these patients. Appropriate monitoring and individualization of dosage are particularly important, and equipment for resuscitation should be immediately available if the parenteral route is used. Barbiturates, especially injectable formulations, should generally be avoided in patients with sleep apnea, hypoxia, or severe pulmonary diseases in which dyspnea or obstruction is evident.
Sepsis
Major:
Spastrin
The ergotamine in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Sepsis.
The use of ergot alkaloids is contraindicated in patients with conditions predisposing them to vasospastic reactions, including, ischemic heart disease (angina, history of myocardial infarction, silent ischemia), peripheral vascular disease, sepsis, shock, vascular surgery, uncontrolled hypertension, and severely impaired hepatic or renal function. The vasoconstriction produced be ergot alkaloids may exacerbate these conditions. Ergot alkaloids may cause vasospastic reactions other than coronary artery vasospasm such as peripheral vascular reactions, and colonic ischemia, causing muscle pains, numbness, coldness, pallor, and cyanosis of the digits. In patients with compromised circulation, persistent vasospasm may result in gangrene or death. Nitroprusside and heparin have been used to treat ergotamine- induced severe vasoconstriction.
Shock
Major:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Shock.
Barbiturates should not be administered by injection to patients in shock or coma or who have recently received another respiratory depressant. The hypnotic and hypotensive effects of these agents may be prolonged and intensified in such patients.
Major:
Spastrin
The ergotamine in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Shock.
The use of ergot alkaloids is contraindicated in patients with conditions predisposing them to vasospastic reactions, including, ischemic heart disease (angina, history of myocardial infarction, silent ischemia), peripheral vascular disease, sepsis, shock, vascular surgery, uncontrolled hypertension, and severely impaired hepatic or renal function. The vasoconstriction produced be ergot alkaloids may exacerbate these conditions. Ergot alkaloids may cause vasospastic reactions other than coronary artery vasospasm such as peripheral vascular reactions, and colonic ischemia, causing muscle pains, numbness, coldness, pallor, and cyanosis of the digits. In patients with compromised circulation, persistent vasospasm may result in gangrene or death. Nitroprusside and heparin have been used to treat ergotamine- induced severe vasoconstriction.
Tachyarrhythmia
Major:
Spastrin
The ergotamine in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Tachyarrhythmia.
The amine ergot alkaloids, ergonovine and methylergonovine, can cause serious cardiovascular complications because of their vasospastic effects. Hypertension (more often with ergonovine) has been most commonly reported, particularly when administered IV undiluted or at an excessive rate or when used in conjunction with regional anesthesia or vasoconstrictors. Headaches, seizures, cerebrovascular accidents and death have been associated with the hypertensive episodes. Other, less common adverse effects include acute myocardial infarction, transient chest pains, thrombophlebitis, tachycardia and palpitations. Therapy with ergot alkaloids should generally be avoided, except under special circumstances, in patients with chronic hypertension, preeclampsia or eclampsia, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, or peripheral vascular disease. Caution is advised when these agents are administered to patients with venoatrial shunts, mitral valve stenosis, or sepsis. Close monitoring of cardiovascular status is highly recommended during therapy.
Ulcerative Colitis
Moderate:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Ulcerative Colitis.
Antimuscarinic agents may suppress intestinal motility and produce paralytic ileus with resultant precipitation of toxic megacolon. These drugs should be administered cautiously to patients with ulcerative colitis.
Urinary Retention
Major:
Spastrin
The belladonna in Spastrin has a major potential interaction with Urinary Retention.
In general, the use of anticholinergic agents is contraindicated in patients with urinary retention and bladder neck obstruction caused by prostatic hypertrophy. Dysuria may occur and may require catheterization. Also, anticholinergic drugs may aggravate partial obstructive uropathy. Caution is advised even when using agents with mild to moderate anticholinergic activity, particularly in elderly patients.
Vitamin D Deficiency
Moderate:
Spastrin
The PHENobarbital in Spastrin has a moderate potential interaction with Vitamin D Deficiency.
Rickets and osteomalacia have rarely been reported following prolonged use of barbiturates, possibly due to increased metabolism of vitamin D as a result of enzyme induction by barbiturates. Long-term therapy with barbiturates should be administered cautiously in patients with vitamin D deficiency.
Moderate:
tenofovir disoproxil
The tenofovir in tenofovir disoproxil has a moderate potential interaction with Vitamin D Deficiency.
In clinical trials, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DF) was associated with slightly greater reductions in bone mineral density (BMD) and increases in biochemical markers of bone metabolism, suggesting increased bone turnover relative to comparators. The effects of tenofovir DF-associated changes in BMD and biochemical markers on long-term bone health and future fracture risk have not been established. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation may be beneficial; however, the effect of such supplementation was not studied. Assessment of BMD should be considered for patients with history of pathologic bone fracture or other risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss. If bone abnormalities are suspected, appropriate consultation should be obtained.
