Drug and food interactions

Major

propoxyphene food

Applies to: Darvon (propoxyphene)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may have additive CNS- and/or respiratory-depressant effects with propoxyphene. Misuse of propoxyphene, either alone or in combination with other CNS depressants, has been a major cause of drug-related deaths, particularly in patients with a history of emotional disturbances, suicidal ideation, or alcohol and drug abuse.

MANAGEMENT: The use of alcohol during propoxyphene therapy should be avoided. Patients should be warned not to exceed the recommended dosage of propoxyphene and to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them.

Moderate

levamisole food

Applies to: Ergamisol (levamisole)

GENERALLY AVOID: Case histories have suggested that levamisole is associated with some side effects (including headache, fever, shivers, and dizziness) that suggest an disulfiram-like interaction with alcohol. These side effects could be alleviated by total abstinence from alcohol. No mechanism has been established for this interaction.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving levamisole should avoid alcohol.
