Drug Interactions of Captopril

Captopril ↔ Spironolactone

Using captopril together with spironolactone may increase the levels of potassium in your blood (hyperkalemia), especially if you are dehydrated or have kidney disease, diabetes, heart failure, or if you are an older adult. Hyperkalemia can cause symptoms such as weakness, confusion, numbness or tingling, and uneven heartbeats

Captopril ↔ Aliskiren

Using aliskiren together with captopril may increase potassium levels in the blood. High levels of potassium can develop into a condition known as hyperkalemia

Captopril ↔ Potassium bicarbonate

Combining these medications may significantly increase potassium levels in the blood. High levels of potassium can develop into a condition known as hyperkalemia

Drug interaction of Amlodipine

Amlodipine ↔ Dolasetron

Talk to your doctor before using dolasetron together with amlodipine. Combining these medications can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use both medications

Amlodipine ↔ Simvastatin

Combining these medications may significantly increase the blood levels of simvastatin. This can increase the risk of side effects such as liver damage and a rare but serious condition called rhabdomyolysis that involves the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue. In some cases, rhabdomyolysis can cause kidney damage and even death

Amlodipine ↔ Itraconazole

Combining these medications can significantly increase the blood levels and effects of amlodipine. You may be more likely to experience serious side effects such as irregular heart rhythm, fluid retention, swelling, heart failure, and excessively low blood pre

Drug interaction of Valsartan

Valsartan↔Quinapril

Using quinapril together with valsartan may increase the risk of side effects such as low blood pressure, kidney function impairment, and a condition called hyperkalemia (high blood potassium). In severe cases, hyperkalemia can lead to kidney failure, muscle paralysis, irregular heart rhythm, and cardiac arrest. You may be more likely to develop hyperkalemia while taking these medications if you are elderly, dehydrated, or have kidney disease, diabetes, or advanced heart failure.

Valsartan↔ Spironolactone

Using spironolactone together with valsartan may increase potassium levels in the blood. High levels of potassium can develop into a condition known as hyperkalemia, which in severe cases can lead to kidney failure, muscle paralysis, irregular heart rhythm, and cardiac arrest.

Valsartan↔ Aliskiren

Using aliskiren together with valsa

Gentamicin Drug Interactions

Gentamicin↔ Cefazolin

Gentamicin can sometimes cause kidney damage, and using it with a cephalosporin antibiotic like cefazolin may increase that risk. Signs and symptoms of kidney damage may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, increased or decreased urination, sudden weight gain or weight loss, fluid retention, swelling, shortness of breath, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, confusion

Gentamicin↔ furosemide

Ask your doctor before using gentamicin together with furosemide; this can increase the effects of gentamicin. This can cause damage to the kidneys or hearing loss

Gentamicin↔ pantoprazole

Using pantoprazole together with gentamicin may cause a condition called hypomagnesemia, or low blood magnesium. Drugs known as proton pump inhi

Cephalexin Drug Interactions

Cephalexin ↔ metformin

Using cephalexin together with metFORMIN may increase the effects of metFORMIN on lowering blood sugar. This could cause your blood sugar levels to get too low

Cephalexin ↔ ethinyl estradiol

Antibiotics such as cephalexin may reduce the effects of ethinyl estradiol in some women. If you are using ethinyl estradiol for birth control, you may be at increased risk for pregnancy or breakthrough bleeding

Cephalexin ↔ pemetrexed

Cephalexin may increase the blood levels and effects of Pemetrexed. You may be more likely to develop serious side effects such as anemia, bleeding problems, infections, and nerve damage when these medications are used together

Cephalexin ↔ indium oxyquinoline in-111

Sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim↔ Paclitaxel

Trimethoprim may increase the blood levels of Paclitaxel protein-bound. This can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, hair loss, muscle pain or weakness, nerve damage, and impaired bone marrow function resulting in low numbers of different types of blood cells. You may also be more likely to develop anemia, bleeding problems, or infections due to low blood cell counts

Sulfamethoxazole ↔ ritonavir

The following interaction applies only if you are taking ritonavir products (e.G., Norvir, Kaletra) in a solution formulation: Ritonavir-containing oral solutions are formulated with alcohol. In rare cases, sulfamethoxazole may affect the breakdown of alcohol leading to what is termed a “disulfiram reaction.” This condition produces unpleasant side effects such as flushing, throbbing in head and neck, throbbing headache, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, sweating, thirst, chest pain

Sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim↔ quinapril

Using trimethoprim together with

Tetracycline ↔ Vitamin A Combining these medications may increase the risk of a rare but potentially serious condition caused by increased pressure in the brain. In some cases, this can lead to permanent vision loss. Tetracycline ↔ Isotretinoin Combining these medications may increase the risk of a rare but potentially serious condition caused by increased pressure in the brain also. Tetracycline ↔ lomitapide, Mipomersen Lomitapide or Mipomersen may cause liver problems, and using it with other medications that can also affect the liver such as tetracycline may increase that risk. Tetracycline ↔ Methoxyflurane Both medications can be harmful to the kidneys, and these effects are increased when the medications are used together. Tetracycline ↔ multivitamins with minerals Iron can bind to tetracycline in the gastrointestinal tract, which may prevent their absorption into the bloodstream and possibly reduce their effectiveness. To avoid or minimize the interaction, iron-containing medications and tetracycline should preferably be taken at least three hours apart in most cases. Tetracycline ↔ PENICILLIN Since bacteriostatic drugs like tetracycline may interfere with the bactericidal action of penicillin, it is advisable to avoid giving tetracycline in conjunction with penicillin. Tetracycline ↔ ANTICOAGULANTS Because the tetracyclines have been shown to depres

Before Using Amoxil

Allergies

Pediatric

Many penicillins have been used in children and, in effective doses, are not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than they do in adults.Some strengths of the chewable tablets of amoxicillin contain aspartame, which is changed by the body to phenylalanine, a substance that is harmful to patients with phenylketonuria.

Geriatric

Penicillins have been used in the elderly and have not been shown to cause different side effects or problems in older people than they do in younger adults.
