Drug interaction Question: If lasix and primacor are given in the same i.v. line, what kind of action takes place in the body?
Primacor is a relatively new drug used in heart failure. It is a peripheral vasodilator as well as an inotropic agent (makes the heart beat stronger). It should not be used in patients with severe aortic or pulmonary valvular disease and can aggravate problems in patients with cardiac outflow obstructions. Use with diuretics like lasix should be performed with caution since over diuresis can decrease cardiac filling. In general practice, this is not usually a problem and these two drugs are commonly used together.
