This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- MLK F2 (bupivacaine/lidocaine/triamcinolone)
- Nizoral (ketoconazole)
Interactions between your drugs
lidocaine BUPivacaine
Applies to: MLK F2 (bupivacaine / lidocaine / triamcinolone) and MLK F2 (bupivacaine / lidocaine / triamcinolone)
Additional use of local anesthetics including lidocaine should generally be avoided within 96 hours following administration of BUPivacaine. Because the toxic effects of these medications are additive, using them together requires caution and constant monitoring of vital signs and state of consciousness to prevent serious and potentially life-threatening side effects such as methemoglobinemia (a condition that can deprive tissues and organs of oxygen), central nervous system reactions (e.G., convulsions, unconsciousness, coma, respiratory arrest), and cardiovascular disorders (e.G., low blood pressure, heart block, irregular heart rhythm, cardiac arrest). Patients require immediate medical attention if they develop signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia such as pale, gray, or blue colored skin (cyanosis); headache; rapid heart rate; shortness of breath; lightheadedness; or fatigue. 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.
ketoconazole triamcinolone
Applies to: Nizoral (ketoconazole) and MLK F2 (bupivacaine / lidocaine / triamcinolone)
Ketoconazole may significantly increase the blood levels of triamcinolone. You may be more likely to experience side effects such as swelling, weight gain, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, muscle weakness, depression, acne, thinning skin, stretch marks, easy bruising, bone density loss, cataracts, menstrual irregularities, excessive growth of facial or body hair, and abnormal distribution of body fat, especially in the face, neck, back, and waist. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Other side effects that may occur include decreased ability to fight infections, increased risk of developing infections, and inadequate response to stress such as infection, surgery, trauma, or a severe asthma attack. Children may experience a reduced growth rate due to excessive effects of triamcinolone. 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.
lidocaine ketoconazole
Applies to: MLK F2 (bupivacaine / lidocaine / triamcinolone) and Nizoral (ketoconazole)
Talk to your doctor before using lidocaine together with ketoconazole. Combining these medications may increase the blood levels and effects of ketoconazole. This can increase the risk of serious side effects such as low blood pressure, slow heart rate, irregular heart rhythm, difficulty breathing, and convulsions. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.
Drug and food interactions
lidocaine food
Applies to: MLK F2 (bupivacaine / lidocaine / triamcinolone)
Grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels of lidocaine, which may increase the risk of side effects such as low blood pressure, slow heart rate, irregular heart rhythm, difficulty breathing and convulsions. Cigarette smoking may reduce the blood levels of lidocaine, which may make the medication less effective. It is best to avoid smoking during lidocaine therapy. Consuming cruciferous vegetables (e.G., broccoli, brussels sprouts) may also reduce the blood levels of lidocaine. Talk to a healthcare professional 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.
ketoconazole food
Applies to: Nizoral (ketoconazole)
You should avoid the use of alcohol while being treated with ketoconazole. Ketoconazole may cause liver damage and using it with alcohol or products containing alcohol may increase that risk. In addition, consumption of alcoholic beverages or products containing alcohol during treatment with ketoconazole may trigger a disulfiram-like reaction in some patients, with unpleasant symptoms such as flushing, palpitations, and nausea. Ketoconazole may be taken with or without food. You should avoid consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or any supplements that contain grapefruit extract during treatment with ketoconazole unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels of ketoconazole. This may increase the risk and/or severity of side effects and liver problems. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs and symptoms of liver damage during treatment with ketoconazole, such as joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark colored urine, light colored stools, and yellowing of the skin or eyes. 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.
