Sulfinpyrazone <> Tolazamide
Relevance: 10.09.2022 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:

Using sulfinpyrazone together with TOLAZamide can increase the effects of TOLAZamide. You should regularly monitor your blood sugar and counseled on how to recognize and treat hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which may include symptoms such as headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, confusion, tremor, hunger, weakness, perspiration, and palpitations. You may need a dose adjustment or blood sugar checked more often 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: The concomitant administration of pyrazolones may increase the hypoglycemic effects of sulfonylureas. Data have been variable. The proposed mechanisms include pyrazolone inhibition of sulfonylurea metabolism, inhibition of renal clearance and/or displacement from protein binding sites.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving this combination should be monitored for increased hypoglycemic effects and 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.
