Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

itraconazole PHENobarbital

Applies to: Onmel (itraconazole) and Se-Donna PB HYOS (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine)

GENERALLY AVOID: The concomitant administration of potent CYP450 3A4 inducers may significantly reduce itraconazole and ketoconazole serum levels. The mechanism appears to be enhanced first-pass metabolism and hepatic enzyme metabolism (CYP450 3A4) of the antifungal agents. Antifungal therapy may fail.

MANAGEMENT: Coadministration of potent CYP450 3A4 inducers with itraconazole or ketoconazole should be avoided. Some authorities recommend avoiding concomitant therapy with potent CYP450 3A4 inducers from 2 weeks before and during treatment with itraconazole. Fluconazole is eliminated unchanged by the kidneys and may be a more appropriate antifungal agent, depending on the patient's condition.

atropine hyoscyamine

Applies to: Se-Donna PB HYOS (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine) and Se-Donna PB HYOS (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine)

MONITOR: Agents with anticholinergic properties (e.g., sedating antihistamines; antispasmodics; neuroleptics; phenothiazines; skeletal muscle relaxants; tricyclic antidepressants; disopyramide) may have additive effects when used in combination. Excessive parasympatholytic effects may result in paralytic ileus, hyperthermia, heat stroke, and the anticholinergic intoxication syndrome. Peripheral symptoms of intoxication commonly include mydriasis, blurred vision, flushed face, fever, dry skin and mucous membranes, tachycardia, urinary retention, and constipation. Central symptoms may include memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, hallucinations, psychosis, delirium, hyperactivity, twitching or jerking movements, stereotypy, and seizures. Central nervous system-depressant effects may also be additively or synergistically increased when these agents are combined, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. Use of neuroleptics in combination with other neuroleptics or anticholinergic agents may increase the risk of tardive dyskinesia. In addition, some neuroleptics and tricyclic antidepressants may cause prolongation of the QT interval and theoretically, concurrent use of two or more drugs that can cause QT interval prolongation may result in additive effects and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias including torsade de pointes and sudden death.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when agents with anticholinergic properties are combined, particularly in the elderly and those with underlying organic brain disease, who tend to be more sensitive to the central anticholinergic effects of these drugs and in whom toxicity symptoms may be easily overlooked. Patients should be advised to notify their physician promptly if they experience potential symptoms of anticholinergic intoxication such as abdominal pain, fever, heat intolerance, blurred vision, confusion, and/or hallucinations. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them. A reduction in anticholinergic dosages may be necessary if excessive adverse effects develop.

PHENobarbital scopolamine

Applies to: Se-Donna PB HYOS (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine) and Se-Donna PB HYOS (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine)

MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. Sedation and impairment of attention, judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills may increase.

MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Cautious dosage titration may be required, particularly at treatment initiation. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

Major

PHENobarbital food

Applies to: Se-Donna PB HYOS (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent acute use of barbiturates and ethanol may result in additive CNS effects, including impaired coordination, sedation, and death. Tolerance of these agents may occur with chronic use. The mechanism is related to inhibition of microsomal enzymes acutely and induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes chronically.

MANAGEMENT: The combination of ethanol and barbiturates should be avoided.

itraconazole food

Applies to: Onmel (itraconazole)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food increases the absorption of itraconazole capsules but decreases the absorption of itraconazole oral solution. Cola beverages may increase the bioavailability of itraconazole capsules. Itraconazole capsules require an acidic gastric pH for adequate dissolution and subsequent absorption. Cola beverages help lower gastric pH and improve absorption.

GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit juice may impair the absorption of itraconazole capsules, resulting in decreased antifungal effects. In a small, randomized, crossover study, the administration of itraconazole capsules with double-strength grapefruit juice (compared to water) was associated with significantly decreased (43%) plasma concentrations of itraconazole and its pharmacologically active hydroxy metabolite, as well as delayed times to reach peak concentrations of both. The exact mechanism of interaction is unknown but may involve reduced absorption of itraconazole secondary to enhanced activity of intestinal P-glycoprotein drug efflux pumps and delayed gastric emptying induced by certain compounds present in grapefruits. Another study reported no pharmacokinetic changes with single-strength grapefruit juice. Whether or not these observations apply to itraconazole oral solution is unknown.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends that the capsules be taken immediately after a full meal and the solution be taken on an empty stomach to ensure maximal absorption. Cola beverages may help increase the bioavailability of itraconazole capsules, particularly in patients with hypochlorhydria or those treated concomitantly with gastric acid suppressants. Until more information is available, it may be advisable to avoid the consumption of grapefruits and grapefruit juice during itraconazole therapy.

atropine food

Applies to: Se-Donna PB HYOS (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine)

GENERALLY AVOID: Use of anticholinergic agents with alcohol may result in sufficient impairment of attention so as to render driving and operating machinery more hazardous. In addition, the potential for abuse may be increased with the combination. The mechanism of interaction is not established but may involve additive depressant effects on the central nervous system. No effect of oral propantheline or atropine on blood alcohol levels was observed in healthy volunteers when administered before ingestion of a standard ethanol load. However, one study found impairment of attention in subjects given atropine 0.5 mg or glycopyrrolate 1 mg in combination with alcohol.

MANAGEMENT: Alcohol should generally be avoided during therapy with anticholinergic agents. Patients should be counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them.

scopolamine food

Applies to: Se-Donna PB HYOS (atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine)

The coadministration with grapefruit juice may delay the absorption and increase the bioavailability of oral scopolamine. The proposed mechanism is delay of gastric emptying as well as inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall induced by certain compounds present in grapefruits. In an open-label, crossover study consisting of 14 subjects, the consumption of grapefruit juice (compared to water) was associated with a 30% increase in mean systemic bioavailability and a 153% increase in time to reach peak serum concentration (Tmax) of scopolamine. However, the perceived pharmacodynamic effect of the drug, as measured by % change in subjective alertness compared to baseline, was similar after coadministration with water and grapefruit juice. Based on these findings, grapefruit juice is unlikely to affect the overall safety profile of of scopolamine but may delay its onset of action following oral administration.
