      Drug Name Phendimetrazine Tapentadol
      Mechanism Hypertensive effects
Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor  Agonist 		Hypertensive effects
Serotonin transporter  Inhibitor
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Adrenergic receptor alpha-1 Structure Sequence
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
This alpha-adrenergic receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its effect is mediated by G(q) and G(11) proteins. Nuclear ADRA1A-ADRA1B heterooligomers regulate phenylephrine(PE)-stimulated ERK signaling in cardiac myocytes.

Protein Family Sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family
Protein Function
Serotonin transporter whose primary function in the central nervous system involves the regulation of serotonergic signaling via transport of serotonin molecules from the synaptic cleft back into the pre-synaptic terminal for re-utilization. Plays a key role in mediating regulation of the availability of serotonin to other receptors of serotonergic systems. Terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner.

      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypertensive effects by the combination of Phendimetrazine and Tapentadol 

Recommended Action
      Management In general, amphetamines and other sympathomimetic appetite suppressants should not be combined with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Close monitoring for enhanced sympathomimetic effects and possible serotonin syndrome is recommended if these agents must be used together.
