Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

cloBAZam benzgalantamine

Applies to: clobazam and benzgalantamine

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with clobazam may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP450 2D6. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 2D6 activity by clobazam. In an in vivo phenotypic cocktail drug-drug interaction study consisting of 18 subjects, dextromethorphan peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) increased by 59% and 90%, respectively, when a single dose of the CYP probe substrate cocktail containing dextromethorphan (CYP450 2D6 substrate), midazolam (CYP450 3A4 substrate), caffeine (CYP450 1A2 substrate), and tolbutamide (CYP450 2C9 substrate) was administered with repeated once-daily doses of clobazam 40 mg.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if clobazam must be used concomitantly with medications that undergo metabolism by CYP450 2D6, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever clobazam is added to or withdrawn from therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

cloBAZam food

Applies to: clobazam

Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of cloBAZam 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 cloBAZam. Do not use more than the recommended dose of cloBAZam, 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.

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.
