  • NitroprussidevasodilatorMinor

    Hypertensive patients, and patients concomitantly receiving other antihypertensive medications, may be more sensitive to the effects of sodium nitroprusside than normal subjects. (Nitroprusside label, Warnings)

  • Prilocaine and epinephrinelocal anestheticMinor

    Drug Interactions 2 – Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride may interact with compounds that stimulate both alpha- and beta- adrenergic receptors (i.e. epinephrine) to produce an exaggerated hypotensive response and tachycardia (see WARNING ). (Phenoxybenzamine label, Drug interactions)

  • ProchlorperazineantipsychoticMinor

    Antihypertensive effects of guanethidine and related compounds may be counteracted when phenothiazines are used concomitantly. (Prochlorperazine label, Precautions)

  • Protriptylinetricyclic antidepressantMinor

    Protriptyline may block the antihypertensive effect of guanethidine or similarly acting compounds. (Protriptyline label, Warnings)

  • QuinaprilACE inhibitorMinor

    Most epidemiologic studies examining fetal abnormalities after exposure to antihypertensive use in the first trimester have not distinguished drugs affecting the renin-angiotensin system from other antihypertensive agents. (Quinapril label, Warnings)
