Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

milk thistle deferiprone

Applies to: milk thistle and deferiprone

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration of deferiprone with uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A6 inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations of deferiprone, which is metabolized by the enzyme. An in vitro study has shown coadministration of deferiprone with phenylbutazone (UGT1A6 inhibitor) decreased glucuronidation to 3-O-glucuronide (the major inactive metabolite of deferiprone) by up to 78%.

MANAGEMENT: The use of deferiprone with UGT1A6 inhibitors should be avoided.
