Nitrous oxide and Forane drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Nitrous oxide (nitrous oxide) and Forane (isoflurane). Common drug interactions include hyperkalaemia among females and hyperkalaemia among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Nitrous oxide and Forane. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 20 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Nitrous oxide?

Nitrous oxide has active ingredients of nitrous oxide. eHealthMe is studying from 1,780 Nitrous oxide users. Check the latest studies of Nitrous oxide.

What is Forane?

Forane has active ingredients of isoflurane. eHealthMe is studying from 1,047 Forane users. Check the latest studies of Forane.

eHealthMe: drug outcomes in the real world

eHealthMe runs one of the largest post-marketing drug safety studies in the world. We study millions of patients and 5,000 more each day. Our data-driven phase IV clinical trials have been referenced on 800+ peer-reviewed medical publications including The Lancet, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and Nature. Tools to study our phase IV findings are available to the public, anonymous and free >>>.

female:

  1. Hyperkalaemia (damage to or disease of the kidney)

  8. Brain herniation (brain herniation is a potentially deadly side effect of very high intracranial pressure that occurs when a part of the brain is squeezed across structures within the skull)
  9. Bronchospasm (spasm of bronchial smooth muscle producing narrowing of the bronchi)
  10. Cardiopulmonary failure (cessation of normal circulation of the blood due to failure of the heart to contract)

  4. Convulsion (muscles contract and relax rapidly and repeatedly, resulting in an uncontrolled shaking of the body)
  5. Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  6. Hypokinesia (decreased bodily movement)
  7. Hypotension (abnormally low blood pressure)
  8. Lethargy (tiredness)

50-59:

  1. Bronchospasm (spasm of bronchial smooth muscle producing narrowing of the bronchi)
  2. Diaphragm muscle weakness
  3. Muscular weakness (muscle weakness)
  4. Neuromuscular block prolonged
  5. Pernicious anaemia (anaemia due to lack of vitamin b12)
  6. Subacute combined cord degeneration (subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord is caused by a vitamin b12 deficiency)
  7. Vitamin b12 deficiency

60+:

  1. Fat embolism (fat obstruction due to injury)
  2. Glucose tolerance decreased (blood glucose is raised beyond normal levels, but not high enough to warrant a diabetes diagnosis)

How the study uses the data?

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on nitrous oxide and isoflurane (the active ingredients of Nitrous oxide and Forane, respectively), and Nitrous oxide and Forane (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.

How to use the study?

DO NOT STOP MEDICATIONS without first consulting your doctor. If there are any serious or long term adverse effects discovered in the study, discuss the study with your doctor to ensure that proper medication management will be in place if applicable.
