Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

dexmethylphenidate serdexmethylphenidate

Applies to: Azstarys (dexmethylphenidate / serdexmethylphenidate) and Azstarys (dexmethylphenidate / serdexmethylphenidate)

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.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

zuranolone food

Applies to: Zurzuvae (zuranolone)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral bioavailability of zuranolone. When administered with a low-fat meal (e.g., 400 to 500 calories, 25% fat), zuranolone peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 3.5- and 1.8-fold, respectively, compared to administration under fasted conditions. Zuranolone was administered with food in the premarketing study population. The efficacy of zuranolone when administered in the fasted state is unknown.

GENERALLY AVOID: Concomitant use of zuranolone with central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may potentiate adverse effects such as somnolence, confusion, dizziness, and gait disturbance.

MANAGEMENT: Zuranolone must be administered with fat-containing food (e.g., 400 to 1,000 calories, 25% to 50% fat) according to the manufacturer. Patients should also be advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol and to avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until at least 12 hours after administration of zuranolone.

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.
