Subsys Drug Interactions
Pegvisomant
Subsys may decrease the effectiveness of pegvisomant. If you use these medications together, your healthcare provider may need to increase your pegvisomant dose.
Thiazide Diuretics
Using Subsys with a thiazide diuretic may increase your risk for orthostatic hypotension (a decrease in blood pressure when you stand up). If you take these medications together, let your healthcare provider know if you experience any symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, such as faintness, dizziness, and lightheadedness.
