Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

oxyBUTYnin morphine liposomal

Applies to: Gelnique (oxybutynin) and DepoDur (morphine liposomal)

MONITOR: Coadministration of opioids with anticholinergic agents may result in additive central nervous system (CNS), gastrointestinal, and genitourinary effects. The risk and/or severity of adverse effects such as sedation, dizziness, confusion, cognitive and psychomotor impairment, dry mouth, constipation, and urinary retention may increase. Severe constipation may lead to paralytic ileus in some cases.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring of central nervous system, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary adverse effects are recommended when opioids are used with anticholinergic agents. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

oxyBUTYnin food

Applies to: Gelnique (oxybutynin)

GENERALLY AVOID: Use of anticholinergic agents with alcohol may result in sufficient impairment of attention so as to render driving and operating machinery more hazardous. In addition, the potential for abuse may be increased with the combination. The mechanism of interaction is not established but may involve additive depressant effects on the central nervous system. No effect of oral propantheline or atropine on blood alcohol levels was observed in healthy volunteers when administered before ingestion of a standard ethanol load. However, one study found impairment of attention in subjects given atropine 0.5 mg or glycopyrrolate 1 mg in combination with alcohol.

MANAGEMENT: Alcohol should generally be avoided during therapy with anticholinergic agents. Patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them.

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.
