Symlin Drug Interactions
Symlin drug interactions with other medications, such as pain medications, acarbose, and anticholinergic medications, can increase your risk of side effects. Because the drug can slow down the movement of medications through the digestive tract, it can delay the onset of side effects due to other medications. To prevent drug interactions with Symlin, you may need to take other medicines an hour before or two hours after you take it.
Symlin® (pramlintide acetate) can potentially interact with several medicines. Some of the medicines that may lead to Symlin drug interactions include:
- Acarbose (Precose®)
- Miglitol (Glyset®)
- Pain medications
- Anticholinergic medications, including:
o Atropineo Belladonna (Donnatal®, B&O Supprettes®, Bellamine S®)o Benztropine (Cogentin®)o Clidinium (Librax®)o Darifenacin (Enablex®)o Dicyclomine (Bentyl®)o Glycopyrrolate (Robinul®)o Haloperidol (Haldol®)o Homatropine (Hycodan®)o Hyoscyamine (Levsin®)o Ipratropium (Atrovent®)o Scopolamine (Transderm Scop®)o Tiotropium (Spiriva®)o Tolterodine (Detrol®)
