Drug and food interactions
vasopressin food
Applies to: vasopressin
MONITOR: Alcohol may decrease the antidiuretic effect of vasopressin. Clinical studies found that plasma vasopressin levels often decrease during alcohol consumption and increase upon cessation of consumption. In addition, alcoholics were found to have a more pronounced decrease in plasma vasopressin levels when drinking and suppressed vasopressin levels even during alcohol withdrawal as compared to non-alcoholic individuals. The mechanism of this interaction is not fully understood.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to abstain from alcohol during vasopressin treatment. Hemodynamic monitoring is suggested for patients known to drink alcohol while receiving vasopressin.
