Major

Yohimbine (applies to Erex) peptic ulcer disease

Major

Yohimbine (applies to Erex) renal dysfunction

Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility.

The use of yohimbine is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment. Yohimbine has mild antidiuretic effects, probably via stimulation of hypothalamic centers and release of posterior pituitary hormone. Agents that reduce or suppress diuresis may aggravate renal diseases.

Moderate

Yohimbine (applies to Erex) depression/psychoses

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Psychosis, Anxiety/Stress, History - Psychiatric Disorder

Yohimbine readily penetrates the blood-brain barrier and may cause anxiety, excitation, and other adverse nervous system effects. Precipitation or exacerbation of psychotic symptoms has been reported. Therapy with yohimbine should be administered cautiously in patients with anxiety, depression, or a history of psychiatric disorders.

Moderate

Yohimbine (applies to Erex) liver disease

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Data are limited concerning the use of yohimbine in patients with liver disease. Yohimbine is thought to undergo metabolism in the liver. Therapy with yohimbine should be administered cautiously in patients with significantly impaired hepatic function.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
