Moderate

terbinafine ROPivacaine

Applies to: Terbinex with Eco Formula (hydroxypropyl chitosan / terbinafine topical) and hydromorphone / ropivacaine

MONITOR: Coadministration with terbinafine may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of the CYP450 2D6 isoenzyme. The mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of CYP450 2D6 activity by terbinafine, which is expected to occur in patients who are CYP450 2D6 extensive metabolizers (approximately 93% of Caucasians and more than 98% of Asians and individuals of African descent). A case of nortriptyline (a CYP450 2D6 substrate) intoxication corresponding to significantly increased serum drug concentrations was reported in a patient shortly after the addition of terbinafine. Rechallenge in the patient produced similar results.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if terbinafine must be used concurrently with medications that undergo metabolism by CYP450 2D6, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever terbinafine is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Due to the long elimination half-life of terbinafine, especially following prolonged use, such interactions may be observed for several months after discontinuation of terbinafine therapy.

Drug and food interactions

Major

HYDROmorphone food

Applies to: hydromorphone / ropivacaine

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate the central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects of opioid analgesics including hydromorphone. Concomitant use may result in additive CNS depression and impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills. In more severe cases, hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, or even death may occur.

GENERALLY AVOID: Consumption of alcohol while taking sustained-release formulations of hydromorphone may cause rapid release of the drug, resulting in high systemic levels of hydromorphone that may be potentially lethal even in opioid-tolerant patients. Alcohol appears to disrupt the extended release mechanism, causing 'dose-dumping' into the bloodstream. In 48 healthy volunteers, coadministration of a 12 mg dose of sustained-release hydromorphone with 240 mL of 40% (80 proof) alcohol resulted in a mean peak hydromorphone concentration (Cmax) approximately six times greater than when taken with water. One subject had a 16-fold increase in hydromorphone Cmax with 40% alcohol compared to water. In some subjects, coadministration with 8 ounces of 4% alcohol (equivalent to 2/3 of a typical serving of beer) resulted in almost twice the hydromorphone Cmax than when coadministered with water. The effect of alcohol was more pronounced in a fasted state.

MANAGEMENT: Patients taking sustained-release formulations of hydromorphone should not consume alcohol or use medications that contain alcohol on days of hydromorphone dosing. In general, potent narcotics such as hydromorphone should not be combined with alcohol.

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.
