Interactions between your drugs

Major

PHENobarbital osilodrostat

Applies to: phenobarbital and osilodrostat

PHENobarbital may reduce the blood levels of osilodrostat, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. On the other hand, if you have been receiving both medications, discontinuing PHENobarbital may increase the blood levels of osilodrostat, which may increase the risk and/or severity of serious and potentially life-threatening side effects such as hypocortisolism (low cortisol levels in the blood), QT prolongation (a heart condition that can lead to irregular heart rhythm), elevated levels of male hormones, high blood pressure, fluid retention, swelling, and hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood, which in severe cases can lead to muscle weakness, paralysis, breathing and swallowing difficulties (due to muscle paralysis), and irregular heart rhythm). Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring 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.
