Deriphyllin Injection 2ml

Deriphyllin Injection can interact with medications, including:

• Antihypertensives such as propranolol. Concurrent use with antihypertensive medications, like propranolol, may lead to enhanced blood pressure-lowering effects, causing excessive hypotension.
• Anti-tubercular medications such as rifampin. It may accelerate the metabolism of theophylline in this injection, potentially reducing its effectiveness.
• Anti-epileptics such as phenytoin. Antiepileptic medications may increase the metabolism of theophylline, affecting its levels in the body.
• Xanthine oxidase inhibitors such as allopurinol. The concurrent use of allopurinol may increase theophylline levels in the blood, leading to toxicity.
• Antibiotics such as azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, tetracycline, and erythromycin. These antibiotics can interfere with the metabolism of theophylline, altering its levels and increasing the risk of adverse effects.
• Anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine: It may enhance the metabolism of theophylline, potentially reducing its efficacy.
• Stomach acid reducers such as cimetidine. It can inhibit the metabolism of theophylline, leading to increased theophylline levels.
• Oral contraceptives such as estrogen. Concurrent use of oral contraceptives containing estrogen may affect the metabolism of theophylline.

• Active peptic ulcer disease: This injection can worsen the active peptic ulcers.

• Heart problems: Individuals with pre-existing heart problems, including conditions such as congestive heart failure or arrhythmias, require caution due to the potential for increased cardiac stress associated with the bronchodilator effects of this injection.
• Hypothyroidism: Caution is advised in individuals with hypothyroidism, as this injection may interact with thyroid function.
• Liver diseases (cirrhosis and acute hepatitis): Liver diseases, particularly cirrhosis and acute hepatitis, can impact the action of this injection.
