Interactions between your drugs

Major

dexAMETHasone atrasentan

Applies to: bupivacaine / dexamethasone / epinephrine and atrasentan

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent or moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of atrasentan, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In drug interaction studies, coadministration with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin reduced atrasentan (single dose, 10 mg) trough plasma concentration (Ctrough) by 90%. Rifampin is also an inhibitor of the hepatic influx transporters organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1 and 1B3, of which atrasentan is a substrate. No data are available about potent or moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers that do not inhibit OATP1B1 and/or 1B3, but greater decreases in atrasentan exposure may occur.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of atrasentan with potent or moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

EPINEPHrine food

Applies to: bupivacaine / dexamethasone / epinephrine

Both EPINEPHrine and caffeine can increase blood pressure and heart rate, and combining them may enhance these effects. Talk to your doctor before using these medications, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure or heart disease. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.
