Interactions between your drugs

Major

quiNIDine dextromethorphan

Applies to: Nuedexta (dextromethorphan / quinidine) and Nuedexta (dextromethorphan / quinidine)

Using dextromethorphan together with quiNIDine may increase the effects of dextromethorphan. Contact your doctor if you experience difficulty breathing, dizziness, drowsiness, anxiety, restless feeling, nervousness, confusion, or diarrhea. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. 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

quiNIDine sofpironium topical

Applies to: Nuedexta (dextromethorphan / quinidine) and sofpironium topical

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent inhibitors of CYP450 2D6 may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of topical sofpironium, which has been shown to be partially metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a pharmacokinetic study in patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis, sofpironium systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased approximately 2 -fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 2D6 inhibitor paroxetine at a 20 mg oral dose.

MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of topical sofpironium with potent CYP450 2D6 inhibitors should generally be avoided. If coadministration is required, monitor for sofpironium-related adverse effects which include blurred vision, urinary retention, difficulty controlling body temperature in warm environments, and dry mouth.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

quiNIDine food

Applies to: Nuedexta (dextromethorphan / quinidine)

Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with quiNIDine unless specifically directed otherwise by your doctor. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interact with quiNIDine and increase the levels of quiNIDine in your body. If you are already consuming grapefruit products, do not increase or decrease the amount of these products in your diet without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

dextromethorphan food

Applies to: Nuedexta (dextromethorphan / quinidine)

Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of dextromethorphan 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 dextromethorphan. Do not use more than the recommended dose of dextromethorphan, 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.
