| ==DRUG INTERACTIONS==
| |
| | |
| ===Beta-Blockers===
| |
| | |
| In most patients, Cardene I.V. Premixed Injection can safely be used concomitantly with beta blockers. However, titrate slowly when using Cardene I.V. Premixed Injection in combination with a beta-blocker in heart failure patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
| |
| | |
| ===Cimetidine===
| |
| | |
| [[Cimetidine ]]has been shown to increase nicardipine plasma concentrations with oral nicardipine administration. Frequently monitor response in patients receiving both drugs. Data with other histamine-2 antagonists are not available.
| |
| | |
| ===Cyclosporine===
| |
| | |
| Concomitant administration of oral nicardipine and [[cyclosporine]] results in elevated plasma cyclosporine levels. Closely monitor plasma concentrations of cyclosporine during Cardene I.V. Premixed Injection administration, and reduce the dose of cyclosporine accordingly.
| |
| | |
| ===In Vitro Interaction===
| |
| | |
| The plasma protein binding of nicardipine was not altered when therapeutic concentrations of [[furosemide]], [[propranolol]], [[dipyridamole]], [[warfarin]], [[quinidine]], or [[naproxen]] were added to human plasma in vitro.
