Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

dicloxacillin entecavir

Applies to: dicloxacillin and entecavir

MONITOR: Coadministration of entecavir with another drug that is also eliminated by active tubular secretion may result in increased plasma concentrations of one or both drugs due to competitive inhibition of transporters in the renal tubules. Drugs (and/or their metabolites) that are thought to undergo active tubular secretion include acyclovir, allopurinol, aminosalicylic acid, cidofovir, cimetidine, creatine, dyphylline, famciclovir, famotidine, flecainide, ganciclovir, levetiracetam, metformin, methotrexate, midodrine, mycophenolic acid, oseltamivir, pralatrexate, probenecid, procainamide, quinidine, ranitidine, tenofovir, triamterene, trimethoprim, valacyclovir, valganciclovir, zalcitabine, zidovudine, and many of the beta-lactam and quinolone antibiotics.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving entecavir with another drug that undergoes active tubular secretion should be monitored for excessive pharmacologic effects of both drugs, and the dosages adjusted as necessary.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

dicloxacillin food

Applies to: dicloxacillin

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Certain penicillins may exhibit reduced gastrointestinal absorption in the presence of food. The therapeutic effect of the antimicrobial may be reduced.

MANAGEMENT: The interacting penicillin should be administered one hour before or two hours after meals. Penicillin V and amoxicillin are not affected by food and may be given without regard to meals.

Moderate

entecavir food

Applies to: entecavir

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food delays the oral absorption and reduces the oral bioavailability of entecavir. According to the product labeling, administration of entecavir 0.5 mg with a standard high-fat meal or a light meal resulted in a delay in absorption by 0.25 to 0.75 hours, a decrease in the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) by 44% to 46%, and a decrease in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) by 18% to 20% compared to administration in the fasting state.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, entecavir should be administered on an empty stomach at least 2 hours after a meal and 2 hours before the next meal.

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.
