1. With which heart medications should Trimbov not be taken?
At the outset, it should be noted that Trimbow is a prescription drug, so the appropriateness and need for use should be determined by a doctor. Before using Trimbov in combination with any heart medications, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor to evaluate the risks and benefits and possible drug interactions.
As a pharmacist, I can only give you general information:
Beta-blockers: These drugs are often used to treat heart conditions such as high blood pressure or coronary artery disease. Formoterol, which is one of the ingredients in Trimbow, is also a beta-mimetic, so there is a risk of potential interactions between formoterol and beta-blockers. You may need to be monitored for possible side effects, such as worsening bronchospasm.
Antiarrhythmics: Some antiarrhythmic drugs, such as amiodarone, can affect your heart rhythm. Using them together with Trimbowie may increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms or arrhythmias. It is necessary to monitor the patient for side effects.
Non-cardioselective beta-blockers: such as propranolol, as this can potentially cause drug interactions.
Trimbow should be used with caution in patients with cardiac arrhythmias (especially atrioventricular block and tachyarrhythmia), aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, severe cardiac disease
(especially acute myocardial infarction, ischaemic heart disease, heart failure), atherosclerosis, hypertension and aneurysm.
Caution should also be exercised when treating patients with known QTc prolongation.
2. When to take, how long do I have to wait after taking the medicine to take another one?
The recommended dose is one inhalation twice a day. There is no need to wait for a certain amount of time after inhaling Trimbowie before taking your next dose. It is recommended to use it regularly, as directed by your doctor, even if your symptoms are under control.
If you are concerned about this situation, it is always advisable to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
