bromocriptine daclatasvir

Applies to: bromocriptine and daclatasvir

MONITOR: Clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with direct acting antiviral agents (DAAs) may lead to changes in hepatic function which may result in altered blood glucose control. Serious symptomatic hypoglycemia has been reported in diabetic patients in postmarketing case reports and published epidemiological studies. These cases required either discontinuation or dose modification of concomitant medications used for diabetes treatment.

MANAGEMENT: Blood glucose should be closely monitored during treatment of HCV with DAAs, particularly during the first 3 months, and appropriate changes made to the antidiabetic drug regimen as needed. The patient as well as the healthcare providers in charge of diabetic care should be apprised of the risk of hypoglycemia. Patients should be aware of the potential signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia such as headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, confusion, tremor, hunger, weakness, perspiration, palpitation, and tachycardia. For antidiabetic medications that are not glucose-dependent, reduction in the dosage should be considered to mitigate the risk of hypoglycemia.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

bromocriptine food

Applies to: bromocriptine

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

Patients should be advised to seek immediate medical attention if they experience potential symptoms of ischemia such as coldness, pallor, cyanosis, numbness, tingling, or pain in the extremities; muscle weakness; severe or worsening headache; visual disturbances; severe abdominal pain; chest pain; and shortness of breath.

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.
