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 timolol ophthalmic together with ritodrine. Using timolol ophthalmic together with ritodrine may cause either medication to be less effective. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests 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:

GENERALLY AVOID: The use of a nonselective beta blocker with ritodrine (a beta-2 agonist) may result in mutually antagonistic effects, negating the effect of one or both drugs.

MANAGEMENT: In general, the use of beta blockers with ritodrine is discouraged. Selective beta blockers (e.g. acebutolol, atenolol, betaxolol, bisoprolol, metoprolol) may be preferable if the use of a beta blocker is unavoidable.
