Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

mephobarbital maribavir

Applies to: mephobarbital and maribavir

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of maribavir, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. When maribavir (400 mg twice daily) was administered with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer, rifampin (600 mg once daily), maribavir peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 39% and 60%, respectively. The interaction has not been studied with other, less potent inducers.

MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished pharmacologic effects of maribavir should be considered during coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Alternative treatments may be required if an interaction is suspected.

Drug and food interactions

Major

mephobarbital food

Applies to: mephobarbital

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent acute use of barbiturates and ethanol may result in additive CNS effects, including impaired coordination, sedation, and death. Tolerance of these agents may occur with chronic use. The mechanism is related to inhibition of microsomal enzymes acutely and induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes chronically.

MANAGEMENT: The combination of ethanol and barbiturates should be avoided.

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.
