Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

traMADol modafinil

Applies to: tramadol and Provigil (modafinil)

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of tramadol, which is primarily metabolized by CYP450 3A4 and 2D6. Reduced opioid efficacy can occur, including opioid withdrawal in physically dependent patients. After discontinuing a CYP450 3A4 inducer, the tramadol plasma concentration will increase, which could increase and/or prolong opioid efficacy and adverse reactions, including seizures, serotonin syndrome, and respiratory depression.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when tramadol is used with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Patients should be monitored for opioid efficacy and signs of withdrawal. If a CYP450 3A4 inducer is discontinued, monitor for seizures, serotonin syndrome, sedation, and respiratory depression.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

traMADol food

Applies to: tramadol

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.

Minor

modafinil food

Applies to: Provigil (modafinil)

Administration with food may delay the absorption of modafinil (the racemate) and armodafinil (the R-enantiomer) without significantly affecting their overall bioavailability. According to the product labeling, modafinil's absorption may be delayed by approximately one hour if taken with food. Similarly, the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of armodafinil may be delayed by approximately 2 to 4 hours in the fed state.

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.
