Procainamide Trimethoprim

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.

Trimethoprim inhibits the active tubular secretion of procainamide (198). 

Penicillins and cephalosporins have short half-lives (0.5-1.5 h) in domestic animals because these antibiotics are secreted by the proximal renal tubules and, due to their high degree of ionization, are not reabsorbed from the distal nephron. The half-lives of lipid-soluble weak organic acids (e.g. sulphadi-methoxine, sulphadiazine, phenobarbitone) and organic bases (e.g. trimethoprim, procainamide, amphetamine) of which a significant fraction (> 20%) of the dose is eliminated by renal excretion may be influenced by the urinary pH reaction. Under acidic urinary conditions, which are normally present in carnivorous species, weak acids are reabsorbed from the distal renal tubules, whereas the excretion of weak bases is enhanced.
