Relevance: 21.11.2022 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:

Ask your doctor before using pseudoephedrine together with epoprostenol. Using these medications together can make epoprostenol less effective. You should be counseled to consult with your doctor before taking over-the-counter decongestants. 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:

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent administration of decongestants or vasoconstrictors may negate the vasodilatory effects of prostacyclin analogs in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

MANAGEMENT: The use of decongestants and vasoconstrictors should probably be avoided in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Patients should be counseled to consult with their physician before taking over-the-counter decongestants such as phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine.
