Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nafcillin tretinoin

Applies to: nafcillin and tretinoin

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Concomitant use of moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers with tretinoin (systemic) may decrease the plasma concentration of tretinoin, which is a CYP450 3A4 substrate. Reduced efficacy of tretinoin may occur. Studies document the interaction between endogenous retinoids and CYP450 3A4 inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital) showing decreased concentration of the retinoids and reduced efficacy. While clinical data specific to tretinoin are not available, similar effects may occur.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends monitoring patients for reduced efficacy of tretinoin.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nafcillin food

Applies to: nafcillin

You may experience reduced absorption of nafcillin in the presence of food. The effectiveness of the antibiotic may be reduced. Nafcillin should be administered one hour before or two hours after meals. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. Penicillin V and amoxicillin are not affected by food and may be given without regard to meals.
