Consumer:

Using guanadrel together with oxymetazoline nasal may cause an increase in blood pressure and other cardiovascular side effects. 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. 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: Postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents may potentiate the pharmacologic effects of direct-acting sympathomimetic amines, while the hypotensive effect of the former may be diminished. Postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents such as guanadrel, guanethidine, and rauwolfia alkaloids work by depleting catecholamine stores from adrenergic nerve endings, thus they may sensitize adrenergic receptors to direct-acting sympathomimetics. Clinically, hypertension and other cardiovascular adverse effects may occur.

MANAGEMENT: Due to their pressor effect, sympathomimetic amines should be used cautiously in patients with hypertension. Conversely, alternatives to postganglionic adrenergic blocking agents should be considered in patients treated with sympathomimetic amines. If the combination is used, blood pressure and heart rate should be closely monitored.
