Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

nefazodone tacrolimus topical

Applies to: nefazodone and Protopic (tacrolimus topical)

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Theoretically, coadministration with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations of topical tacrolimus. The proposed mechanism involves inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated metabolism of tacrolimus, which is primary metabolized by this isoenzyme. However, systemic exposure from topical tacrolimus is reported to be minimal (less than 1 ng/mL) and so clinically significant drug interactions are not expected. Nevertheless, the possibility of an interaction cannot be ruled out.

MANAGEMENT: According to the manufacturer, caution is advised if topical tacrolimus is prescribed with CYP450 3A4 inhibitors. Patients should be monitored for systemic tacrolimus adverse effects including immunosuppression, infection, hyperkalemia, malignancy, nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and hypertension.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

nefazodone food

Applies to: nefazodone

Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of nefazodone such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with nefazodone. Do not use more than the recommended dose of nefazodone, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
