Applies to: gabapentin

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.

Moderate

riociguat food

Applies to: Adempas (riociguat)

ADJUST DOSE: Smoking may decrease the plasma concentrations of riociguat. The proposed mechanism is induction of the CYP450 1A1-mediated metabolism of riociguat by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in cigarette smoke. CYP450 1A1 is responsible for the formation of the major active metabolite, M1, which has just 1/3 to 1/10 the pharmacologic activity of riociguat. According to the product labeling, plasma concentrations of riociguat are reduced by 50% to 60% in smokers compared to nonsmokers.

MANAGEMENT: Riociguat dosages higher than 2.5 mg three times a day may be considered in cigarette smokers, if tolerated, so as to match the exposure seen in nonsmoking patients. However, safety and effectiveness of higher dosages have not been established. A dosage reduction should be considered in patients who stop smoking during treatment with riociguat.

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.
