Drug Interaction Report

MONITOR: Concomitant administration of anticholinergic agents would be expected to reduce the therapeutic effects of prucalopride. Prucalopride increases bowel motility by stimulating colonic peristalsis (high-amplitude propagating contractions), an action that has been shown to be facilitated by acetylcholine release in isolated gastrointestinal tissues from various animal species.

MANAGEMENT: Monitoring for altered efficacy of prucalopride may be advisable during concomitant use with anticholinergic agents.

MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.
