      Drug Name Tolazamide Fosphenytoin
      Mechanism 1 Antidiabetic agent Hyperglycemia
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Antidiabetic agents
Factor Description The hypoglycemic effect of antidiabetes may be reduced, leading to higher blood glucose, increased blood glucose fluctuations, and the possibility of hyperglycemic complications
      Mechanism Description
  • Antagonize the effect of Tolazamide when combined with Fosphenytoin 
      Mechanism 2 Antidiabetic agent Hyperglycemic effects
      Key Mechanism Factor 2
Factor Name Antidiabetic agents
Factor Description The hypoglycemic effect of antidiabetes may be reduced, leading to higher blood glucose, increased blood glucose fluctuations, and the possibility of hyperglycemic complications
      Mechanism Description
  • Antagonize the effect of Tolazamide when combined with Fosphenytoin 

Recommended Action
      Management Consideration should be given to more closely monitoring blood glucose and phenytoin levels during coadministration with sulfonylureas. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if loss of glycemic control occurs or if they experience symptoms of possible phenytoin toxicity, including drowsiness, visual disturbances, change in mental status, seizures, nausea, and ataxia.
