Heartburn Relief and Tolazamide

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 famotidine together with TOLAZamide can increase the effects of TOLAZamide, which may cause your blood sugar to get too low. Talk with your doctor before using these medications together. You may need a dose adjustment and you may need to check your blood sugar more often. 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.

MONITOR: H2 antagonists such as cimetidine and ranitidine may increase plasma concentrations of sulfonylureas and enhance hypoglycemic effects. The mechanism may be related to inhibition of liver cytochrome P450 enzymes responsible for sulfonylurea metabolism or increased absorption due to altered gastric pH. Cimetidine may also inhibit glucose metabolism. Other H2 antagonists may interact in a similar manner, particularly if increased pH is involved.

MANAGEMENT: Clinical monitoring of patient response, tolerance, and glycemic control is recommended. Patients receiving this combination should be advised to regularly monitor their blood sugar, counseled on how to recognize and treat hypoglycemia (e.g., headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, tremor, hunger, weakness, or palpitations) and to notify their physician if it occurs. The sulfonylurea dosage may require reduction in affected patients.
