oxyBUTYnin delavirdine

Applies to: Oxytrol for Women (oxybutynin) and delavirdine

Serum concentrations and effects of medications that are metabolized by the 3A4 enzymatic pathways may theoretically be elevated in patients receiving delavirdine. The mechanism is inhibition of these enzymes by delavirdine. The clinical significance is unknown. Monitoring for clinical and laboratory evidence of safety and tolerance is recommended. Dosage adjustments or alternatives may be needed if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

oxyBUTYnin food

Applies to: Oxytrol for Women (oxybutynin)

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.
