MONITOR: Limited data suggest that tetracyclines may increase the plasma concentrations and toxicity of ergot alkaloids. The mechanism is unknown, but may be related to tetracycline effects on liver function. Several cases of ergotism have been reported in patients taking ergotamine or dihydroergotamine with a tetracycline.
MANAGEMENT: Monitoring for ergot toxicity (e.g., peripheral vasospasm, ischemia, thrombosis, tachycardia and hypertension) is advisable during concomitant therapy. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience signs of ergotism such as paresthesia, cold or painful extremities, abdominal pain, rapid pulse, or chest pain.
