may enhance the anti-hypertensive effect when both drugs are combined
It may enhance the effects when combined with chloroprocaine by pharmacodynamic synergism
it may diminish the excretion rate when combined with gadofosveset, resulting in an enhanced serum level
may enhance the serum concentration

Pregnancy Categories:     Â
Category A: Satisfactory and well-controlled studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.     Â
Category B: No evidence shown of risk to the fetus found in animal reproduction studies, and there are not enough studies on pregnant women     Â
Category C: Adverse effects on the fetus found with evidence in animal reproduction studies and no adequate evidence for a result in humans must take care of potential risks in pregnant women     Â
Category D: There is adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits     Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.     Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category Â
