Interactions between your drugs

Major

codeine carisoprodol

Applies to: aspirin / carisoprodol / codeine and aspirin / carisoprodol / codeine

Using narcotic pain or cough medications together with other medications that also cause central nervous system depression can lead to serious side effects including profound sedation, respiratory distress, coma, and even death. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. Do not drink alcohol or self-medicate with these medications without your doctor's approval, and do not exceed the doses or frequency and duration of use prescribed by your doctor. Also, because these medications may cause dizziness, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in judgment, reaction speed and motor coordination, you should avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how they affect you. 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.

Moderate

codeine tedizolid

Applies to: aspirin / carisoprodol / codeine and tedizolid

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: The concurrent use of tedizolid with agents that have serotonergic activity including serotonin reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants, 5-HT1 receptor agonists, ergot alkaloids, cyclobenzaprine, lithium, St. John's wort, phenylpiperidine opioids, dextromethorphan, and tryptophan may elevate the risk of developing serotonin syndrome. The proposed mechanism is tedizolid-mediated non-selective and reversible inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO), with more potent inhibition of MAO-A than linezolid in vitro. In a retrospective cohort study from January 2015 to July 2023 of 479 adult patients receiving tedizolid, 62% (297/479) received concomitant serotonergic agents, but suspected serotonin syndrome requiring tedizolid discontinuation was found to be rare, occurring in only 0.4% (2/479) of cases. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome may include mental status changes such as irritability, altered consciousness, confusion, hallucination, and coma; autonomic dysfunction such as tachycardia, hyperthermia, diaphoresis, shivering, unstable blood pressure, and mydriasis; neuromuscular abnormalities such as hyperreflexia, myoclonus, tremor, rigidity, and ataxia; and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and closer monitoring for serotonin syndrome are recommended during concomitant treatment with tedizolid and serotonergic agents, especially during dose escalations, and patients should be instructed to notify their healthcare provider if they experience symptoms of serotonin syndrome. Due to variability and occasionally prolonged half-lives of these coadministered agents, consulting individual product labeling for specific guidance is advised. If serotonin syndrome is suspected, discontinuation of therapy or dose reductions should be considered depending on the severity of the symptoms, and supportive care should be provided. Moderately ill patients may benefit from serotonin antagonists like cyproheptadine or chlorpromazine. Severe cases require consultation with a toxicologist and may need sedation, neuromuscular paralysis, intubation, and mechanical ventilation.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

carisoprodol food

Applies to: aspirin / carisoprodol / codeine

Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of carisoprodol such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with carisoprodol. Do not use more than the recommended dose of carisoprodol, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.

Moderate

codeine food

Applies to: aspirin / carisoprodol / codeine

Do not use alcohol or medications that contain alcohol while you are receiving treatment with codeine. This may increase nervous system side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in thinking and judgment. In severe cases, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, fainting, coma, or even death may occur. With certain long-acting formulations of narcotic pain medication, consumption of alcohol may also cause rapid release of the drug, resulting in high blood levels that may be potentially lethal. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. Do not use more than the recommended dose of codeine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

aspirin food

Applies to: aspirin / carisoprodol / codeine

Ask your doctor before using aspirin together with ethanol (alcohol). Do not drink alcohol while taking aspirin. Alcohol can increase your risk of stomach bleeding caused by aspirin. Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of bleeding in your stomach or intestines. This includes black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. 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.

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.
