Interactions between your drugs

Minor

aminophylline roflumilast

Applies to: aminophylline and roflumilast

Coadministration with theophylline may increase the systemic exposure to roflumilast and its pharmacologically active N-oxide metabolite. In a drug interaction study, the total exposure to roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide increased by 8% with concomitant theophylline. The clinical significance is unknown.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

aminophylline food

Applies to: aminophylline

MONITOR: Coadministration of two or more sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse effects such as nervousness, irritability, and increased heart rate. Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants, particularly amphetamines, can potentiate the adrenergic response to vasopressors and other sympathomimetic agents. Additive increases in blood pressure and heart rate may occur due to enhanced peripheral sympathetic activity.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if two or more sympathomimetic agents are coadministered. Pulse and blood pressure should be closely monitored.

Minor

roflumilast food

Applies to: roflumilast

Food intake does not affect the total exposure to roflumilast and its pharmacologically active N-oxide metabolite, but delays the time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of roflumilast by one hour and reduces its peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by approximately 40%. The Tmax and Cmax of
roflumilast N-oxide are unaffected. Roflumilast may be taken with or without food.

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.
