Minor

isoniazid ROPivacaine

Applies to: Nydrazid (isoniazid) and ropivacaine

Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 3A4 may modestly increase the plasma concentrations of ropivacaine. Although ropivacaine is primarily metabolized by CYP450 1A2, it has been shown to undergo some metabolism via CYP450 3A4. In eight healthy volunteers, pretreatment with the 3A4 inhibitor erythromycin (500 mg three times a day for 6 days) was found to have only minor effects on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of ropivacaine (0.6 mg/kg IV over 30 minutes) compared to placebo. However, in combination with the potent 1A2 inhibitor fluvoxamine (100 mg daily), erythromycin further increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of ropivacaine by 50% compared to fluvoxamine alone, which increased the ropivacaine AUC by 3.7-fold. Fluvoxamine alone prolonged the elimination half-life of ropivacaine from 2.3 to 7.4 hours, while the addition of erythromycin further increased the half-life to 11.9 hours. In another study, pretreatment with the potent 3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (100 mg twice daily for 2 days) decreased the mean total plasma clearance of ropivacaine (40 mg IV over 20 minutes) by just 15% in 12 healthy volunteers. Thus, it appears that CYP450 3A4 inhibitors may only have a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine in the presence of a CYP450 1A2 inhibitor such as fluvoxamine, ciprofloxacin, or mexiletine.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

isoniazid food

Applies to: Nydrazid (isoniazid)

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent use of isoniazid (INH) in patients who ingest alcohol daily may result in an increased incidence of both hepatotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy. The increase in hepatotoxicity may be due to an additive risk as both alcohol and INH are individually associated with this adverse reaction. INH-associated hepatotoxicity is believed to be due to an accumulation of toxic metabolites and may also be partly immune mediated, though the exact mechanisms are not universally agreed upon. INH is metabolized by N-acetyltransferase and CYP450 2E1. The rate of acetylation is genetically determined and generally classified as slow or rapid. Slow acetylators have been identified by some studies as having a higher risk of hepatotoxicity; therefore, this interaction may be more significant for patients who fall into this category. Other studies have postulated that alcohol-mediated CYP450 2E1 induction may play a role, as this isoenzyme is involved in INH metabolism and may be responsible for producing hepatotoxic metabolites. However, available literature is conflicting. The labeling for some INH products lists daily alcohol use or chronic alcoholism as a risk factor for hepatitis, but not all studies have found a significant association between alcohol use and INH-induced hepatotoxicity. Additionally, INH and alcohol are both associated with pyridoxine (B6) deficiency, which may increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy.

GENERALLY AVOID: Concomitant administration of isoniazid (INH) with foods containing tyramine and/or histamine may increase the risk of symptoms relating to tyramine- and/or histamine toxicity (e.g., headache, diaphoresis, flushing, palpitations, and hypotension). The proposed mechanism is INH-mediated inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO) and diamine oxidase (DAO), enzymes responsible for the metabolism of tyramine and histamine, respectively. Some authors have suggested that the reactions observed are mainly due to INH's effects on DAO instead of MAO or the amounts of histamine instead of tyramine present in the food. A Japanese case report recorded an example in 8 out of 25 patients on the tuberculosis ward who developed an accidental histamine poisoning after ingesting a fish paste (saury). Patients developed allergy-like symptoms, which started between 20 minutes and 2 hours after ingesting the food. A high-level of histamine (32 mg/100 g of fish) was confirmed in the saury paste and all 8 patients were both on INH and had reduced MAO concentrations. The 17 remaining patients were not on INH (n=5) or reported not eating the saury paste (n=12).

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food significantly reduces oral isoniazid (INH) absorption, increasing the risk of therapeutic failure or resistance. The mechanism is unknown. Pharmacokinetic studies completed in both healthy volunteers (n=14) and tuberculosis patients (n=20 treatment-naive patients during days 1 to 3 of treatment) have resulted in almost doubling the time to reach INH's maximum concentration (tmax) and a reduction in isoniazid's maximum concentration (Cmax) of 42%-51% in patients who consumed high-fat or high-carbohydrate meals prior to INH treatment.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of oral forms of isoniazid (INH) recommends administration on an empty stomach (i.e., 30 minutes before or 2 hours after meals). Patients should be encouraged to avoid alcohol or strictly limit their intake. Patients who use alcohol and INH concurrently or have a history of alcohol use disorder may require additional monitoring of their liver function during treatment with INH. Concomitant pyridoxine (B6) administration is also recommended to reduce the risk of peripheral neuropathy, with some authorities suggesting a dose of at least 10 mg/day. Patients should be advised to avoid foods containing tyramine (e.g., aged cheese, cured meats such as sausages and salami, fava beans, sauerkraut, soy sauce, beer, or red wine) or histamine (e.g., skipjack, tuna, mackerel, salmon) during treatment with isoniazid. Consultation of product labeling for combination products containing isoniazid and/or relevant guidelines may be helpful for more specific recommendations.
