Insulina Humana Novolin N interactions
Some medicines cause changes in the blood sugar level (decrease, increase or both depending on the situation). In each case, it may be necessary to adjust insulin dose to avoid blood sugar levels that are either too low or too high. Be careful when starting or stopping another medicine.
Medicines that may cause blood sugar level to fall (hypoglycemia) include: All other medicines to treat diabetes, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (used to treat certain heart conditions or high blood pressure), disopyramide (used to treat certain heart conditions), fluoxetine (used to treat depression), fibrates (used to lower high levels of blood lipids), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (used to treat depression), pentoxifylline, propoxyphene, salicylates (eg, aspirin, used to relieve pain and lower fever), sulfonamide antibiotics.
Medicines that may cause blood sugar level to rise (hyperglycemia) include: Corticosteroids (eg, 'cortisone' used to treat inflammation), danazol (medicine acting on ovulation), diazoxide (used to treat high blood pressure), diuretics (treat high blood pressure or excessive fluid retention), glucagon (pancreas hormone used to treat severe hypoglycemia), isoniazid (used to treat tuberculosis), estrogens and progestogens (eg, in the contraceptive pill used for birth control), phenothiazine derivatives (treat psychiatric disorders), somatropin (growth hormone), sympathomimetic medicines [eg, epinephrine (adrenaline), salbutamol, terbutaline used to treat asthma], thyroid hormones (treat the thyroid gland disorders), protease inhibitors [treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)], atypical antipsychotic medicines (eg, olanzapine and clozapine).
Blood sugar level may either rise or fall if the patient takes: β-blockers (treat high blood pressure), clonidine (treat high blood pressure), lithium salts (treat psychiatric disorders).
Pentamidine (treat some infections caused by parasites) may cause hypoglycemia which may sometimes be followed by hyperglycemia.
β-blockers eg, other sympatholytic medicines (eg, clonidine, guanethidine and reserpine) may weaken or suppress entirely the first warning symptoms which help to recognize a hypoglycemia.
