Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

chlorproMAZINE osilodrostat

Applies to: chlorpromazine and osilodrostat

MONITOR: Coadministration with moderate or strong CYP450 1A2 inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations and risk of adverse effects of chlorpromazine. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 1A2-mediated metabolism of chlorpromazine, which has been shown to be metabolized by this isoenzyme. This interaction has been studied in vitro, but clinical data evaluating the interaction are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, caution is advised if chlorpromazine is used concomitantly with moderate or strong CYP450 1A2 inhibitors. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring of chlorpromazine should be considered whenever a moderate or strong CYP450 1A2 inhibitor is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Patients should be advised to monitor for signs and symptoms of chlorpromazine-related adverse reactions.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

chlorproMAZINE food

Applies to: chlorpromazine

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent use of ethanol and phenothiazines may result in additive CNS depression and psychomotor impairment. Also, ethanol may precipitate dystonic reactions in patients who are taking phenothiazines. The two drugs probably act on different sites in the brain, although the exact mechanism of the interaction is not known.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol during phenothiazine therapy.

Moderate

chlorproMAZINE food

Applies to: chlorpromazine

MONITOR: Smoking cessation may lead to elevated plasma concentrations and enhanced pharmacologic effects of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 1A2 (and possibly CYP450 1A1) and/or certain drugs with a narrow therapeutic index (e.g., flecainide, pentazocine). One proposed mechanism is related to the loss of CYP450 1A2 and 1A1 induction by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in tobacco smoke; when smoking cessation agents are initiated and smoking stops, the metabolism of certain drugs may decrease leading to increased plasma concentrations. The mechanism by which smoking cessation affects narrow therapeutic index drugs that are not known substrates of CYP450 1A2 or 1A1 is unknown. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown as clinical data are lacking.

MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, caution is advisable if smoking cessation agents are used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 1A2 or 1A1 and/or those with a narrow therapeutic range. Patients receiving smoking cessation agents may require periodic dose adjustments and closer clinical and laboratory monitoring of medications that are substrates of CYP450 1A2 or 1A1.

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.
