Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

propoxyphene sofpironium topical

Applies to: propoxyphene and Sofdra (sofpironium topical)

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inhibitors of CYP450 2D6 may increase the plasma concentrations of topical sofpironium, which has been shown to be partially metabolized by the isoenzyme. In a pharmacokinetic study in patients with primary axillary hyperhidrosis, sofpironium systemic exposure (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) increased approximately 2-fold following concomitant use with the potent CYP450 2D6 inhibitor paroxetine at a 20 mg oral dose. Clinical data for sofpironium use in combination with other less potent CYP450 2D6 inhibitors are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when sofpironium topical is used concurrently with CYP450 2D6 inhibitors. Patients should be more closely monitored for adverse effects such as blurred vision, urinary retention, difficulty controlling body temperature in warm environments, and dry mouth.

Drug and food interactions

Major

propoxyphene food

This may increase nervous system side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in thinking and judgment. In severe cases, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, fainting, coma, or even death may occur. Do not use more than the recommended dose of propoxyphene, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.
