Relevance: 03.12.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Brompheniramine may reduce the effects of pilocarpine ophthalmic. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these medications. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. 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: Theoretically, anticholinergic agents and other agents with significant anticholinergic activity (e.g., antihistamines, antispasmodics, neuroleptics, phenothiazines, skeletal muscle relaxants, tricyclic antidepressants, class IA antiarrhythmics especially disopyramide) may antagonize the effects of topically administered cholinergic agents such as acetylcholine, carbachol, demecarium, echothiophate, isoflurophate, physostigmine, and pilocarpine. The proposed mechanism involves opposing pharmacodynamic action on muscarinic receptor sites in ocular tissue. This interaction is sometimes desirable and is the basis for using atropine in the treatment of excessive muscarinic side effects and cholinergic crisis induced by cholinergic overdose.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving long-term therapy with anticholinergic agents should be monitored for potentially diminished therapeutic (miotic) response to ophthalmic cholinergic therapy, and dosages adjusted as necessary.
