Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

troglitazone oritavancin

Applies to: troglitazone and oritavancin

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with oritavancin may decrease the plasma concentrations and therapeutic effects drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4 and/or 2D6. The proposed mechanism is increased clearance due to oritavancin-mediated induction of these isoenzymes. In a screening drug interaction study in 16 healthy volunteers, a single 1,200 mg dose of oritavancin decreased midazolam systemic exposure (AUC) by 18% and the urinary dextromethorphan-to-dextrorphan ratio by 31%, indicating weak induction of CYP450 3A4 and 2D6, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when oritavancin used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4 and/or 2D6, particularly sensitive substrates or those for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failure. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever oritavancin is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Individual product labeling for the CYP450 3A4 and/or 2D6 substrate(s) should be consulted for further guidance.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

Applies to: troglitazone

Alcohol may affect blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur, depending on how much and how often you drink. You should avoid using alcohol if your diabetes is not well controlled or if you have high triglycerides, neuropathy (nerve damage), or pancreatitis. Moderate alcohol consumption generally does not affect blood glucose levels if your diabetes is under control. However, it may be best to limit alcohol intake to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men (1 drink = 5 oz wine, 12 oz beer, or 1.5 oz distilled spirits) in conjunction with your normal meal plan. Avoid drinking alcohol on an empty stomach or following exercise, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. 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.
