This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- glycerol phenylbutyrate
- Proben-C (colchicine/probenecid)
Interactions between your drugs
probenecid glycerol phenylbutyrate
Applies to: Proben-C (colchicine / probenecid) and glycerol phenylbutyrate
Talk to your doctor before using probenecid together with glycerol phenylbutyrate. Probenecid may interfere with the excretion of metabolites of glycerol phenylbutyrate into the urine. Since blood and urine levels of these metabolites may be used to help guide glycerol phenylbutyrate treatment and determine effectiveness, your doctor will need to be aware of this interaction when making any dose adjustments. In addition, you may be at increased risk of developing nervous system side effects associated with one of the metabolites, including drowsiness, lightheadedness, fatigue, headache, taste disturbances, hearing problems, confusion, memory impairment, tremor, and seizures. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience these or other unusual symptoms. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Drug and food interactions
colchicine food
Applies to: Proben-C (colchicine / probenecid)
Drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice can increase your blood levels of colchicine to dangerous levels. You should avoid the consumption of grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with colchicine. Let your doctor know if you experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, muscle pain, weakness, fatigue, and/or numbness or tingling in your hands and feet, as these may be early symptoms of colchicine toxicity.
