thiabendazole sodium iodide I-123

Applies to: thiabendazole and ARI Sodium Iodide (I123) 1-12 MBq (sodium iodide i-123)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Certain drugs may affect the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and/or diagnostic results of radioiodides.

MANAGEMENT: Antithyroid agents such as carbimazole or propylthiouracil should generally be withheld for 1 week before administration of sodium iodide I-131 or I-123, and for a few days afterward. Salicylates, steroids, anticoagulants, antihistamines, antiparasitics, penicillins, sulfonamides, tolbutamide, thiopental, and nitroprusside should generally be withheld for 1 week. Amiodarone, lithium, and benzodiazepines should be withheld for at least 4 weeks.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

thiabendazole food

Applies to: thiabendazole

MONITOR: Coadministration with thiabendazole may increase the plasma concentrations of caffeine. The mechanism is thiabendazole inhibition of the CYP450 1A2 metabolism of caffeine. In ten healthy, nonsmoking volunteers, administration of a single 136.5 mg dose of caffeine in combination with a single 500 mg dose of thiabendazole resulted in a nearly 60% increase in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of caffeine compared to administration without thiabendazole. In addition, the half-life of caffeine was increased from 11.9 to 28.6 hours, and oral clearance was reduced by 67% during coadministration with thiabendazole. The formation of paraxanthine from caffeine, which is primarily mediated by CYP450 1A2, was almost completely abolished until after the thiabendazole was cleared from the system.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised that pharmacologic effects of caffeine may be increased during coadministration with thiabendazole.

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.
