Relevance: 21.07.2023 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 guanadrel together with minoxidil. This can lower your blood pressure and slow your heart rate. You may notice headaches, dizziness, or feeling like you might pass out. If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often if you take both medications. 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: Guanethidine blocks the reflex sympathetic response to minoxidil-induced hypotension. Profound hypotension or syncope will result. A similar reaction may occur with guanadrel.

MANAGEMENT: This combination should be avoided, and guanethidine or guanadrel should be discontinued, if possible, at least a week before minoxidil is started. If coadministration is necessary, the patient should be hospitalized or carefully monitored during the first week until there are no signs or symptoms of orthostasis or hypotension.
