Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

butabarbital ixabepilone

Applies to: Butisol Sodium (butabarbital) and ixabepilone

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of ixabepilone, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. According to the manufacturer, coadministration of ixabepilone with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin decreased ixabepilone systemic exposure (AUC) by 43% compared to administration of ixabepilone alone. Reduced efficacy of ixabepilone may occur. However, the extent to which less potent CYP450 3A4 inducers interact with ixabepilone is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of ixabepilone should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Caution is advised if they are used with ixabepilone, and alternative treatments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Major

butabarbital food

Applies to: Butisol Sodium (butabarbital)

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent acute use of barbiturates and ethanol may result in additive CNS effects, including impaired coordination, sedation, and death. Tolerance of these agents may occur with chronic use. The mechanism is related to inhibition of microsomal enzymes acutely and induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes chronically.

MANAGEMENT: The combination of ethanol and barbiturates should be avoided.

ixabepilone food

Applies to: ixabepilone

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may increase the plasma concentrations of ixabepilone. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ixabepilone should avoid the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice.

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.
