Established or Potential Drug-Drug Interactions<br />

Drug Type Ref Effect Clinical comment<br />

Sympathomimetic<br />

agents<br />

Mono amine<br />

Oxidase Inhibitors<br />

or Tricyclic<br />

Antidepressants<br />

CT<br />

CS<br />

May lead to<br />

deleterious<br />

cardiovascular<br />

effects.<br />

Action of<br />

salmeterol on<br />

vascular system<br />

may be<br />

potentiated.<br />

Aerosol bronchodilators of the rapid onset, short<br />

duration adrenergic stimulant type may be used<br />

for relief of breakthrough symptoms while using<br />

salmeterol for asthma. Increasing use of such<br />

preparations to control symptoms indicates<br />

deterioration of disease control and the patient’s<br />

therapy plan should be reassessed. The regular,<br />

concomitant use of salmeterol and other<br />

sympathomimetic agents is not recommended.<br />

Salmeterol should be administered with extreme<br />

caution to patients being treated with<br />

monoamine oxidase inhibitors or tricyclic<br />

antidepressants, or within 2 weeks of<br />

discontinuation of such agents.<br />

Methylxanthines CT Unknown The concurrent use of intravenously or orally<br />

administered methylxanthines (e.g.,<br />

aminophylline, theophylline) by patients<br />

receiving salmeterol has not been completely<br />

evaluated.<br />

Beta-Blockers CS May antagonise<br />

the<br />

bronchodilating<br />

action of<br />

salmeterol.<br />

Acetylsalicylic<br />

acid<br />

T<br />

Non-selective beta-blocking drugs, should never<br />

be prescribed in asthma or COPD.<br />

Cardioselective beta-blocking drugs should be<br />

used with caution in patients with asthma or<br />

COPD.<br />

Use with caution in conjunction with<br />

corticosteroids in hypoprothrombinemia.<br />

Ritonavir<br />

CT &<br />

postmarketing<br />

Systemic effects<br />

including<br />

Cushings<br />

syndrome and<br />

adrenal<br />

suppression.<br />

Concomitant use of fluticasone propionate and<br />

ritonavir should be avoided. (See DRUG<br />

INTERACTIONS, Overview)<br />

Other inhibitors of<br />

cytochrome P450<br />

3A4<br />

CT<br />

Increased systemic<br />

exposure to<br />

salmeterol<br />

xinafoate and<br />

fluticasone<br />

propionate.<br />

Caution is advised when co-administering<br />

potent cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e.g.<br />

ketoconazole). (See DRUG INTERACTIONS,<br />

Overview, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS<br />

and ACTION AND CLINIAL<br />
