Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

atropine lasmiditan

Applies to: AtroPen (atropine) and lasmiditan

MONITOR: Coadministration with alcohol or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants may enhance the sedative effects of lasmiditan and increase the likelihood and/or severity of cognitive and/or neuropsychiatric adverse reactions. Patients treated with lasmiditan are at risk of CNS depression, including dizziness and sedation, as well as driving impairment. In clinical studies, dizziness and sedation were reported in up to 17% and 7%, respectively, of patients receiving lasmiditan, and dizziness was the most common adverse event resulting in discontinuation (greater than 2%). In a computer-based driving study, a significant, dose-dependent impairment of subjects' ability to drive was observed with single 50, 100, and 200 mg lasmiditan doses at 90 minutes after administration. Concomitant use of lasmiditan and CNS depressants has not been studied clinically.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised during coadministration of lasmiditan with alcohol, other CNS depressants, or other agents that cause sedation. Patients should be advised against driving and other activities that require complete mental alertness for at least 8 hours after lasmiditan is administered.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

atropine food

Applies to: AtroPen (atropine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Use of anticholinergic agents with alcohol may result in sufficient impairment of attention so as to render driving and operating machinery more hazardous. In addition, the potential for abuse may be increased with the combination. The mechanism of interaction is not established but may involve additive depressant effects on the central nervous system. No effect of oral propantheline or atropine on blood alcohol levels was observed in healthy volunteers when administered before ingestion of a standard ethanol load. However, one study found impairment of attention in subjects given atropine 0.5 mg or glycopyrrolate 1 mg in combination with alcohol.

MANAGEMENT: Alcohol should generally be avoided during therapy with anticholinergic agents. Patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
