Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

ketorolac DAPTOmycin

Applies to: Sprix (ketorolac) and Cubicin RF (daptomycin)

MONITOR: The concomitant administration of daptomycin and other nephrotoxic drugs or drugs that reduce renal filtration may result in additive renal effects and/or increased plasma levels of daptomycin. Daptomycin has been associated with renal impairment, although causality has not been determined. Increased plasma concentrations of daptomycin may increase the risk of myopathy. The risk may be increased in patients with pre-existing renal dysfunction.

MANAGEMENT: Serum drug concentrations and renal function, including serum creatinine, should be carefully monitored during concurrent administration. In addition, all patients receiving daptomycin should be monitored for the development of muscle pain or weakness, particularly of the distal extremities. CPK levels should be monitored weekly, and patients who develop unexplained elevations in CPK should be monitored more frequently. Daptomycin should be discontinued in patients with unexplained signs and symptoms of myopathy in conjunction with CPK levels exceeding 1000 U/L (approximately 5 times the upper limit of normal), or in patients without reported symptoms who have marked elevations in CPK (10 times the upper limit of normal, or more).

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ketorolac food

Applies to: Sprix (ketorolac)

GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.

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.
