Consumer:FLUoxetine may increase the blood levels and effects of dilTIAZem. You may be more likely to experience serious side effects such as irregular heart rhythm, fluid retention, swelling, heart failure, and excessively low blood pressure. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. You should seek medical attention if you develop dizziness or fainting; sudden, unexplained weight gain; swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet; chest pain; or difficulty breathing during treatment with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. 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: Coadministration of fluoxetine with calcium channel blockers may increase their plasma concentrations and the risk of side effects. The mechanism is reduced clearance of the calcium channel blocker due to inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism by fluoxetine. Reports exist for nifedipine, nimodipine, and verapamil. Theoretically, the interaction may also occur with other calcium channel blockers that are CYP450 3A4 substrates.
MANAGEMENT: Monitoring of clinical response and tolerance, including blood pressure, is recommended if fluoxetine is used in combination with calcium channel blockers that are metabolized by CYP450 3A4. Dose reductions may be considered, if necessary. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience edema or swelling of the lower extremities; sudden, unexplained weight gain; difficulty breathing; chest pain or tightness; or hypotension as indicated by dizziness, fainting, or orthostasis.
