Drug and food/lifestyle interactions

Major

ethionamide food/lifestyle

Applies to: Trecator-SC (ethionamide)

GENERALLY AVOID: The concomitant use of protionamide with alcohol may enhance the central nervous system exciting effect of protionamide. The mechanism is not known. Excessive use of alcohol with another thiocarbamide derivative ethionamide, has been reported to precipitate a psychotic reaction. In addition, alcohol tolerance is reported to be reduced during protionamide treatment.

MANAGEMENT: Consumption of alcohol during protionamide treatment should be avoided. The manufacturer of ethionamide also advises that excess alcohol consumption should be avoided during ethionamide therapy (US).

Moderate

entecavir food/lifestyle

Applies to: Baraclude (entecavir)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food delays the oral absorption and reduces the oral bioavailability of entecavir. According to the product labeling, administration of entecavir 0.5 mg with a standard high-fat meal or a light meal resulted in a delay in absorption by 0.25 to 0.75 hours, a decrease in the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 44% to 46%, and a decrease in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) by 18% to 20% compared to administration in the fasting state.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, entecavir should be administered on an empty stomach at least 2 hours after a meal and 2 hours before the next meal.
