| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| Allergen Immunotherapy/Beta-Blockers SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Beta-blockers may mask early signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, make the treatment of anaphylaxis more difficult, and increase the severity of the reaction. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Beta-blockers may reduce a patient's ability to survive a systemic allergic reaction to allergen immunotherapy. Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis may be masked. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Concurrent use of epinephrine with beta-blockers may result in hypertension with reflex bradycardia. Epinephrine resistance in patients with anaphylaxis has been reported. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Avoid concomitant administration of immunotherapy and beta-blockers if possible. If patients cannot safely discontinue beta-blockers but have a history of moderate to severe sting-induced anaphylaxis, venom immunotherapy is indicated because the risk of anaphylaxis related to a venom sting is greater than the risk of an immunotherapy-related systemic reaction. In patients taking beta-blockers for whom an acceptable alternative is not available, withholding allergen immunotherapy may be the best option. If both drugs are administered, monitor closely for signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis. Use caution when treating anaphylaxis with epinephrine since response may be poor. Epinephrine administration may worsen anaphylaxis because beta-blockers block the beta effects of epinephrine, which results in predomination of alpha effects. The plasma clearance of epinephrine is decreased. Glucagon may help in the treatment of refractory anaphylaxis in patients receiving beta-blockers. DISCUSSION: In a case report, a patient taking propranolol was administered pollen extract immunotherapy and immediately developed anaphylaxis. Treatment with epinephrine did not improve symptoms and patient was subsequently intubated.(2) In another case report, a patient taking propranolol was given pollen immunotherapy and developed anaphylaxis. Difficulty in maintaining an adequate blood pressure and pulse continued for several hours despite epinephrine and other supportive measures.(3) There are other case reports of patients taking propranolol with venom immunotherapy that were refractory to treatment.(6-7) |

The clinician should assess the patient’s characteristics and take action as needed. Actions required for moderate interactions include, but are not limited to, discontinuing one or both agents, adjusting dosage, altering administration.
| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| Allergen Immunotherapy/Ustekinumab SEVERITY LEVEL: 3-Moderate Interaction: Assess the risk to the patient and take action as needed. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Ustekinumab may decrease the protective effect of allergen immunotherapy. CLINICAL EFFECTS: Ustekinumab may increase the risk of an allergic reaction to allergen immunotherapy. PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Exercise caution in patients receiving or who have received allergen immunotherapy. Counsel patients on the possible increased risk of an allergic reaction.(1) DISCUSSION: Concurrent use of ustekinumab and allergen immunotherapy has not been evaluated.(1) |
