Ranitidine Morphine

There is a risk of acute renal failure when iodi-nated contrast material that is used for radiological studies is administered with metformin. Metformin therapy is stopped for 48 hours before and after radiological studies using iodinated material. Alcohol, amiloride, digoxin, morphine, procainamide, quini-dine, quinine ranitidine, triamterene, trimethoprim, vancomycin, cimetidine, and furosemide all increase the risk of hypoglycemia. There is an increased risk of lactic acidosis when metformin is administered with the glucocorticoids.

Tubocurarine can cause release of histamine by direct mast cell degranulation which can result in systemic effects, such as cutaneous flushing, local wheal and flare formation, hypotension, and occasionally bronch-ospasm. Preoperative oral terfenadine 60 mg + ranitidine 150 mg attenuated the reduction in blood pressure but not cutaneous flushing after the administration of tubocurarine and morphine in 60 women undergoing elective gynaecological surgery in a placebo-controlled study (122).
