Interactions between your drugs

Major

probenecid glycerol phenylbutyrate

Applies to: ampicillin / probenecid and glycerol phenylbutyrate

Talk to your doctor before using probenecid together with glycerol phenylbutyrate. Probenecid may interfere with the excretion of metabolites of glycerol phenylbutyrate into the urine. Since blood and urine levels of these metabolites may be used to help guide glycerol phenylbutyrate treatment and determine effectiveness, your doctor will need to be aware of this interaction when making any dose adjustments. In addition, you may be at increased risk of developing nervous system side effects associated with one of the metabolites, including drowsiness, lightheadedness, fatigue, headache, taste disturbances, hearing problems, confusion, memory impairment, tremor, and seizures. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience these or other unusual symptoms. 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

Moderate

ampicillin food

Applies to: ampicillin / probenecid

You may experience reduced absorption of ampicillin in the presence of food. The effectiveness of the antibiotic may be reduced.
