Interactions between your drugs

Major

cycloSERINE fecal microbiota spores, live

Applies to: cycloserine and Vowst (fecal microbiota spores, live)

GENERALLY AVOID: Antibiotics may interfere with the therapeutic effects of oral fecal microbiota, which contains live bacterial spores. The mechanism may be related to the antibiotic inactivating the bacterial spores or reducing bacterial replication. However, the clinical significance of this interaction has not been established.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of oral fecal microbiota spores with antibiotics should generally be avoided. The manufacturer of the oral formulation of fecal microbiota recommends that treatment commence two to four days after completing antibiotic treatment for Clostridium difficile infection.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with alcohol may potentiate some of the central nervous system adverse effects of cycloserine and its prodrug, terizidone. These effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, depression, anxiety, psychoses, memory impairment, confusion, and convulsions.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid the consumption of alcohol during treatment with cycloserine or terizidone. The use of these medications is contraindicated in patients with chronic alcohol consumption or alcoholism.

MONITOR CLOSELY: Coadministration with caffeine may potentiate some of the central nervous system adverse effects of cycloserine and its prodrug, terizidone. These effects may include insomnia, excitability, irritability, anxiety, tremor, psychoses, and convulsions.
