Prinzide Drug Interactions

When taking Prinzide with a narcotic, your blood pressure may decrease too much. In order to decrease the chances of developing this interaction, your healthcare provider may change the dose of either medicine, start you on a lower dose of Prinzide, and/or monitor you more closely.

 

Cholestyramine can bind to Prinzide in the digestive tract and decrease its absorption into the body. To avoid this drug interaction, take Prinzide at least one hour before or four to six hours after taking cholestyramine.

 

Colestipol can bind to Prinzide in the digestive tract and decrease its absorption into the body. Take Prinzide at least one hour before or four to six hours after taking colestipol to avoid this drug interaction.

 

Taking corticosteroids with Prinzide may cause an electrolyte imbalance, especially with the levels of potassium in the blood. If you are taking a corticosteroid with Prinzide, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and adjust your dose of medicine as needed.

 

Norepinephrine is a medicine that is used to treat very low blood pressure. Prinzide may affect the ability of norepinephrine to raise blood pressure.

 

Taking corticotropin with Prinzide may cause an electrolyte imbalance, especially with the levels of potassium in the blood. If you are taking corticotropin with Prinzide, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and adjust your dose as needed.

 

If you are taking both Prinzide and a muscle relaxant, your body may metabolize the drugs differently than intended and increase the muscle relaxant levels in the blood. In order to decrease the chances of developing this drug interaction, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely, change the muscle relaxant dose, or both.
