Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

thiabendazole ZOLMitriptan

Applies to: Mintezol (thiabendazole) and Zomig (zolmitriptan)

ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 1A2 may increase the plasma concentrations of zolmitriptan, which is a substrate of the isoenzyme. Due to limited data, the clinical consequences of this interaction are unknown.

MANAGEMENT: It is recommended that not more than 5 mg of zolmitriptan be taken in a 24-hour period during concomitant use with CYP450 1A2 inhibitors. Patients should be advised to notify their doctor promptly if they experience increased sedation, dizziness, paraesthesia, chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath, and/or irregular heartbeat.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ZOLMitriptan food

Applies to: Zomig (zolmitriptan)

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete 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.

Moderate

thiabendazole food

Applies to: Mintezol (thiabendazole)

MONITOR: Coadministration with thiabendazole may increase the plasma concentrations of caffeine. The mechanism is thiabendazole inhibition of the CYP450 1A2 metabolism of caffeine. In ten healthy, nonsmoking volunteers, administration of a single 136.5 mg dose of caffeine in combination with a single 500 mg dose of thiabendazole resulted in a nearly 60% increase in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of caffeine compared to administration without thiabendazole. In addition, the half-life of caffeine was increased from 11.9 to 28.6 hours, and oral clearance was reduced by 67% during coadministration with thiabendazole. The formation of paraxanthine from caffeine, which is primarily mediated by CYP450 1A2, was almost completely abolished until after the thiabendazole was cleared from the system.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised that pharmacologic effects of caffeine may be increased during coadministration with thiabendazole.

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.
