Additive hypotensive effects Click to Show/Hide Mechanism Graph

Drug Name		Triamterene				Mesoridazine
Mechanism		Hypotensive effects Amiloride-sensitive sodium channel Inhibitor				Hypotensive effects Dopamine D2 receptor Agonist
Key Mechanism Factor 1
		Factor Name		Amiloride-sensitive sodium channel				Structure Sequence
		Protein Family		Amiloride-sensitive sodium channel (TC 1.A.6) family
		Protein Function		Sodium permeable non-voltage-sensitive ion channel inhibited by the diuretic amiloride. Mediates the electrodiffusion of the luminal sodium (and water, which follows osmotically) through the apical membrane of epithelial cells. Plays an essential role in electrolyte and blood pressure homeostasis, but also in airway surface liquid homeostasis, which is important for proper clearance of mucus. Controls the reabsorption of sodium in kidney, colon, lung and eccrine sweat glands. Also plays a role in taste perception. Click to Show/Hide

		Gene Name		DRD2
		Uniprot ID		DRD2_HUMAN
		KEGG Pathway		hsa:1813
		Protein Family		G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
		Protein Function		Dopamine receptor whose activity is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase (PubMed:21645528). Positively regulates postnatal regression of retinal hyaloid vessels via suppression of VEGFR2/KDR activity, downstream of OPN5 (By similarity). Click to Show/Hide
Mechanism Description		Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Triamterene and Mesoridazine

Recommended Action
Management		Close clinical monitoring for development of hypotension is recommended if phenothiazines or neuroleptic agents are used in patients receiving antihypertensive medications or vasodilators. A lower starting dosage and slower titration of the phenothiazine or neuroleptic may be appropriate, especially in the elderly. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia. Patients should also avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery.
