Acetazolamide Sustained-Release Capsules and Aspirin and Omeprazole Tablets

Determining the interaction of Acetazolamide Sustained-Release Capsules and Aspirin and Omeprazole Tablets and the possibility of their joint administration.

Check result:
Acetazolamide Sustained-Release Capsules <> Aspirin and Omeprazole Tablets
Relevance: 16.12.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Ask your doctor before using acetaZOLAMIDE together with aspirin. This can cause ringing in your ears, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, rapid breathing, fever, seizure (convulsions), or coma. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

GENERALLY AVOID: The combination of large doses of salicylates and oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAI) may rarely result in severe metabolic acidosis and/or salicylate toxicity. The mechanism is unknown but may involve salicylate-induced displacement of CAIs from plasma protein-binding sites and reduced renal clearance, or CAI-induced plasma pH changes resulting in increased amounts of unionised salicylates entering the CNS. Coma and death have been reported. Although this has not been reported with ocular CAIs, the clinician should consider the possibility of an interaction with these agents, also.

MANAGEMENT: In general, concomitant use of antirheumatic doses of salicylates and oral CAIs is not recommended. If coadministration is necessary, careful monitoring of the patient's mental status and acid base balance is strongly recommended. Patients should be advised to promptly notify their physicians if they experience symptoms such as lethargy, tinnitus, confusion, nausea, vomiting, or hyperventilation.
