Interactions between your drugs
haloperidol rifapentine
Applies to: Haldol (haloperidol) and Priftin (rifapentine)
MONITOR CLOSELY: Rifampin and other strong CYP450 3A4 inducers may significantly decrease serum concentrations of haloperidol. The mechanism may be related to induction of the CYP450 3A4 metabolism of haloperidol. In an observational study of 12 schizophrenic patients taking oral haloperidol, the administration of rifampin for 28 days reduced haloperidol plasma levels by a mean of 70%, and scores in the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) were increased. In the same study, another 5 schizophrenic patients receiving haloperidol and rifampin had rifampin discontinued, which led to a mean 3.3-fold increase in haloperidol blood levels. Another observational study involving schizophrenic patients (n=7) also reported significant reduction of serum haloperidol concentration and reduction in haloperidol half-life from 9.4 hours in the control group to 4.9 hours in the rifampin and haloperidol group.
MANAGEMENT: Close observation for reduced clinical effects is recommended if these drugs must be used together. It may be necessary to adjust haloperidol dosage and/or dosage interval whenever a strong CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or discontinued from therapy.

Drug and food interactions
haloperidol food
Applies to: Haldol (haloperidol)
GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.
MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

rifapentine food
Applies to: Priftin (rifapentine)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food may increase the oral bioavailability of rifapentine and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events. Administration with a high fat meal typically increases rifapentine's maximum concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 40% to 50% over that observed when rifapentine is administered under fasting conditions. Rifapentine is often prescribed in combination with isoniazid. When single doses of rifapentine (900 mg) and isoniazid (900 mg) were administered with a low fat, high carbohydrate breakfast, the Cmax and AUC of rifapentine increased by 47% and 51%, respectively. On the other hand, isoniazid's Cmax and AUC decreased by 46% and 23%, respectively.
MANAGEMENT: Products containing oral rifapentine as the sole ingredient recommend administration with a meal to increase bioavailability and reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and/or vomiting. Consultation of product labeling for combination products and/or relevant guidelines may be helpful if rifapentine is combined with a medication that is typically taken on an empty stomach.
