Cardioquin and Cevimeline Hydrochloride

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.

Using cevimeline together with quiNIDine may reduce the effectiveness of one or both medications. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring 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.

GENERALLY AVOID: Anticholinergic agents and other agents with significant anticholinergic activity (e.g., clozapine, class IA antiarrhythmics especially disopyramide) may antagonize the effects of direct-acting cholinergic agents such as bethanechol, carbachol, cevimeline, and pilocarpine. 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. Conversely, cholinergic agents may also counteract the pharmacologic effects of anticholinergic agents and other agents that rely partially on their anticholinergic activity for therapeutic effects (e.g., some antiparkinsonian and antiemetic/antivertigo agents). The mechanism of interaction involves opposing pharmacodynamic action on muscarinic receptor sites.

MANAGEMENT: It may be appropriate to avoid concomitant use of anticholinergic agents and cholinergic agents, depending on the needs of the patient. If concurrent use is necessary, the patient should be monitored for reduced pharmacologic effects of both drugs.
