Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Professional:

Phentolamine can increase the endogenous secretion of insulin in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Theoretically, this effect could decrease insulin requirements. However, since phentolamine is usually administered only in single doses, the clinical importance is probably limited. Management consists of carefully monitoring blood glucose after the administration of phentolamine if the situation warrants.
