      Drug Name Mephentermine Ozanimod
      Mechanism 1 Hypertensive effects Hypertensive effects
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Hypertensive effects
Factor Description Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure reading above a prescribed limit (130/90 mmHg). Most people with hypertension have no signs or symptoms; others may experience: severe headache, shortness of breath, nosebleeds, severe anxiety, and feeling a tingling sensation in the neck or head.
      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypertensive effects by the combination of Mephentermine and Ozanimod 
     Increased risk of hyperpyrexia Click to Show/Hide Mechanism Graph

      Drug Name Mephentermine Ozanimod
      Mechanism 2 Hyperpyrexia Hyperpyrexia
      Key Mechanism Factor 2
Factor Name Hyperpyrexia
Factor Description Hyperthermia is an extreme, life-threatening increase in core body temperature. If hyperthermia persists for a long time or worsens, more serious symptoms may occur, such as confusion, headache, constricted pupils, vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased urine output.
      Mechanism Description
  • Increased risk of hyperpyrexia by the combination of Mephentermine and Ozanimod 

Recommended Action
      Management Until more information is available, concomitant use of ozanimod with sympathomimetic agents should be avoided when possible. Blood pressure and other vitals should be monitored if coadministration is required.
