Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

levomethadyl acetate sofpironium topical

Applies to: levomethadyl acetate and sofpironium topical

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

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

Major

levomethadyl acetate food

Applies to: levomethadyl acetate

Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with levomethadyl acetate unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels of levomethadyl acetate. This can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a relatively rare side effect. You may be more susceptible if you have a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome, other cardiac diseases, conduction abnormalities, or electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting). You should also avoid alcohol during treatment, as it may add to the central nervous system effects of levomethadyl acetate and increase the risk of serious side effects such as respiratory depression, low blood pressure, fainting, coma, and even death. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform other hazardous activities until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment. 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.
