Check result:
Entex PSE <> Northera
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:

Treatment with droxidopa can cause a condition known as supine hypertension, which is high blood pressure while lying down. Combining droxidopa with other medications that can raise blood pressure can increase the risk. 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. You should elevate the head of the bed when resting or sleeping to reduce the risk of supine hypertension. 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: Agents that increase blood pressure such as vasopressors, triptans, decongestants, beta-2 agonists, and amphetamines may potentiate the risk of supine hypertension associated with the use of droxidopa in the treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension.

MANAGEMENT: Supine blood pressure should be monitored prior to and during droxidopa treatment, and more frequently when increasing dosage. Patients should elevate the head of the bed when resting or sleeping, and have blood pressure also measured in this position. Dosage reduction or discontinuation of droxidopa is recommended if supine hypertension cannot be managed by elevation of the head of the bed. Supine hypertension that is not well managed may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, particularly stroke.
