• vilanterol/fluticasone furoate inhaled

  Serious - Use Alternative (2)amitriptyline and vilanterol/fluticasone furoate inhaled both increase sympathetic (adrenergic) effects, including increased blood pressure and heart rate. Avoid or Use Alternate Drug. Exercise extreme caution if vilanterol coadministered with MAOIs or TCAs, or within 2 weeks of discontinuation of these drugs; adrenergic agonist effects on the cardiovascular system may be potentiated
