Interactions between your drugs

Minor

amoxicillin clarithromycin

Applies to: Omeclamox-Pak (amoxicillin / clarithromycin / omeprazole) and Omeclamox-Pak (amoxicillin / clarithromycin / omeprazole)

Although some in vitro data indicate synergism between macrolide antibiotics and penicillins, other in vitro data indicate antagonism. When these drugs are given together, neither has predictable therapeutic efficacy. Data are available for erythromycin, although theoretically this interaction could occur with any macrolide. Except for monitoring of the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy, no special precautions appear to be necessary.

Minor

clarithromycin omeprazole

Applies to: Omeclamox-Pak (amoxicillin / clarithromycin / omeprazole) and Omeclamox-Pak (amoxicillin / clarithromycin / omeprazole)

Clarithromycin may increase and prolong the omeprazole plasma concentration. The mechanism may be related to clarithromycin inhibition of hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes responsible for omeprazole metabolism. Coadministration of omeprazole may result in an increase in clarithromycin and 14-(R)-hydroxyclarithromycin plasma concentrations. These increases may be due to the effect of omeprazole on gastric pH.

omeprazole prasugrel

Applies to: Omeclamox-Pak (amoxicillin / clarithromycin / omeprazole) and prasugrel

Coadministration with proton pump inhibitors or H2-receptor antagonists may modestly affect the pharmacokinetics of prasugrel, but does not appear to alter its antiplatelet effects. The proposed mechanism is delayed prasugrel dissolution due to increased gastric pH. In 24 healthy subjects, administration of a single 60 mg dose of prasugrel following pretreatment with lansoprazole 30 mg/day for 7 days resulted in a 29% decrease in the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of the active metabolite of prasugrel and a nonsignificant (12%) decrease in the metabolite's systemic exposure (AUC) compared to administration of prasugrel alone. Lansoprazole had no significant effect on the response to prasugrel as measured by ADP-induced platelet aggregometry. Similarly, daily coadministration of ranitidine reduced the Cmax of the prasugrel active metabolite by 14%, but did not significantly change the AUC or Tmax. No dosage adjustment for prasugrel is necessary when coadministered with drugs that elevate gastric pH, including proton pump inhibitors and H2-receptor antagonists. However, administration of the 60 mg prasugrel loading dose without concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors may provide most rapid onset of action.

Drug and food interactions

Minor

clarithromycin food

Applies to: Omeclamox-Pak (amoxicillin / clarithromycin / omeprazole)

Grapefruit juice may delay the gastrointestinal absorption of clarithromycin but does not appear to affect the overall extent of absorption or inhibit the metabolism of clarithromycin. The mechanism of interaction is unknown but may be related to competition for intestinal CYP450 3A4 and/or absorptive sites. In an open-label, randomized, crossover study consisting of 12 healthy subjects, coadministration with grapefruit juice increased the time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of both clarithromycin and 14-hydroxyclarithromycin (the active metabolite) by 80% and 104%, respectively, compared to water. Other pharmacokinetic parameters were not significantly altered. This interaction is unlikely to be of clinical significance.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
