Interactions between your drugs
midazolam miFEPRIStone
Applies to: Versed (midazolam) and mifepristone
Talk to your doctor before using midazolam together with miFEPRIStone. Combining these medications may significantly increase the blood levels of midazolam, which may increase the risk and/or severity of side effects. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need to briefly stop using midazolam while you are being treated with miFEPRIStone. In addition, because miFEPRIStone is cleared slowly from the body, the interaction may occur even after you have stopped taking it for a while. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Drug and food interactions
midazolam food
Applies to: Versed (midazolam)
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with midazolam and lead to potentially dangerous side effects. Discuss the use of grapefruit products with your doctor. Do not increase or decrease the amount of grapefruit products in your diet without first talking to your doctor. Do not drink alcohol while taking midazolam. This medication can increase the effects of alcohol. You may feel more drowsy, dizzy, or tired if you take midazolam with alcohol. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
miFEPRIStone food
Applies to: mifepristone
Food increases the blood levels of this medication. If you are only receiving one or two doses, you may take it without regard to meals. However, if you are receiving the medication for long-term treatment, you should take it with food at the same time everyday to maintain consistent blood levels and effects. Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment, as it may increase blood levels of the medication to undesirable levels and increase the risk of side effects, including headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea, hypokalemia (low blood potassium), fluid retention, swelling, and high blood pressure. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
