Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

griseofulvin montelukast

Applies to: Grisactin 500 (griseofulvin) and montelukast

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of hepatic CYP450 isoenzymes may decrease the plasma concentrations of montelukast, which is metabolized by CYP450 2C8, 2C9, and 3A4 . When a single 10 mg dose of montelukast was administered in combination with phenobarbital, montelukast systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by approximately 40%.

MANAGEMENT: No dosage adjustment for montelukast is recommended when used concomitantly with CYP450 inducers. However, clinical monitoring for potentially reduced therapeutic effects may be appropriate, especially for potent inducers such as carbamazepine, dexamethasone, enzalutamide, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifamycins, and St. John's wort.

Drug and food interactions

griseofulvin food

Applies to: Grisactin 500 (griseofulvin)

MONITOR: Isolated case reports have suggested that the ingestion of alcohol during griseofulvin therapy may rarely cause disulfiram-like reactions, flushing, tachycardia, or increased effects of alcohol. The mechanism is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised of the possibility of increased adverse effects or a disulfiram-like reaction.

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.
