Adderall XR and Reserpine

Determining the interaction of Adderall XR and Reserpine and the possibility of their joint administration.

Check result:

Adderall XR <> Reserpine

Relevance: 05.10.2022 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:

Using amphetamine together with reserpine may decrease the effects of reserpine. Contact your doctor if your condition changes. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure and heart rate checked more often to safely use 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:

MONITOR: Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly the amphetamines, may decrease the hypotensive effect of postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents such as guanadrel, guanethidine and rauwolfia alkaloids, which work by depleting catecholamine stores from adrenergic nerve endings. CNS stimulants can have peripheral sympathetic activity, thus they may elevate blood pressure on their own as well as antagonize some of the antiadrenergic effect produced by these hypotensive agents. Amphetamines reportedly also may displace the blocking agent, guanethidine, and inhibit its uptake by adrenergic neurons. Other mechanisms have also been proposed. In addition to diminished hypotensive response, the interaction has also been reported to produce hypotension and ventricular tachycardia in a patient stabilized on guanethidine shortly after initiating treatment with methylphenidate.

MANAGEMENT: Alternatives to postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents should be considered in hypertensive patients treated with CNS stimulants. If the combination is used, blood pressure and heart rate should be monitored.
