Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

atropine hyoscyamine

Applies to: Servira (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine) and Servira (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine)

Using atropine together with hyoscyamine may increase side effects such as drowsiness, blurred vision, dry mouth, heat intolerance, flushing, decreased sweating, difficulty urinating, abdominal cramping, constipation, irregular heartbeat, confusion, and memory problems. Side effects may be more likely to occur in the elderly or those with a debilitating condition. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Also avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. 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.

Moderate

atropine mitotane

Applies to: Servira (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine) and mitotane

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with alcohol or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants may enhance the sedative effects of mitotane and increase the likelihood and/or severity of central nervous system (CNS) side effects. In clinical studies and post marketing reports, CNS side effects occurred in 40% of patients, primarily consisting of depression as manifested by lethargy and somnolence (25%), and dizziness or vertigo (15%). Mitotane plasma concentrations exceeding 20 mcg/mL are associated with a greater incidence of severe neurologic toxicity. Clinical data are not available for the concomitant use of mitotane with other CNS depressants.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and clinical monitoring for increased CNS adverse effects is advised if mitotane is coadministered with alcohol, other CNS depressants, or agents that cause dizziness or vertigo. Patients should not drive, operate machinery, or engage in hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how the medications affect them. In addition, more frequent monitoring of serum mitotane levels may be considered.

Drug and food interactions

Major

PHENobarbital food

Applies to: Servira (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine)

Ask your doctor before using PHENobarbital together with ethanol, this can add to dizziness, drowsiness and other side effects of PHENobarbital. Be careful if you drive or do activities that require you to be awake and alert. Talk with your doctor before using any medications together, or drinking alcohol with PHENobarbital. 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.

Moderate

mitotane food

Applies to: mitotane

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Fat-rich food enhances the absorption of mitotane. One study evaluated blood levels of mitotane (o,p'-DDD) after subjects ingested a single dose of 2 g administered using various delivery vehicles (e.g., tablets, granules, milk, chocolate or oil emulsion). Mitotane plasma levels were significantly higher for milk, chocolate, and oil emulsion when compared to those who received tablets or granules alone. In the same study, mitotane levels were evaluated in subjects following long-term treatment (total dose of 200 g over 30 to 60 days) in tablet, oil emulsion, or milk formulations. Significantly higher mean plasma levels were recorded in subjects who received mitotane as an oil emulsion or mixed in milk, when compared to tablets alone. Additionally, the recovery of o,p'-DDD from the feces was about 5 times higher in subjects who received tablets alone, suggesting absorption was reduced when compared to subjects who received mitotane mixed with a fat-rich vehicle (e.g., oil emulsion or milk).

GENERALLY AVOID: Concomitant use of mitotane with central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may potentiate adverse effects such as somnolence and sedation.

MANAGEMENT: According to product labeling, mitotane tablets should be taken during meals containing fat-rich food (e.g., milk, chocolate, or oil) and with a full glass of water. Patients should be advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol and to avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until they know how the medication affects them.
