Drug interactions
Moderate drug interactions
Moderate:
lidocaine topical relacorilant
Applies to: RadiaGuard (lidocaine topical) and relacorilant
Talk to your doctor before suing relacorilant together with lidocaine topical. Combining these medication may increase the blood levels and effects of lidocaine topical. This may increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, trembling, numbness, slow heartbeat, or low blood pressure. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks, but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications. There may be alternative medications that do not interact, or your doctor may recommend a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.
Food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate food/lifestyle interactions
Moderate:
relacorilant Food/Lifestyle
Applies to: relacorilant
Food helps to increase the absorption of relacorilant. To ensure adequate blood levels, relacorilant should be given with food. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. 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.

Disease interactions
6 potential interactions Applies to: 6 conditions, including Seizures, Liver Disease, Heart Block, Shock, and Renal Dysfunction.
Heart Block
Major:
RadiaGuard
The lidocaine topical in RadiaGuard has a major potential interaction with Heart Block.
Lidocaine is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes following topical administration. Prolonged exposure, large doses, frequent applications and/or use on compromised skin or mucosa can produce systemic effects. At high plasma levels, lidocaine can cause hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously in patients with shock, sinus bradyarrhythmia, or severe heart block. The recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Children and debilitated, elderly, or acutely ill patients should be given reduced dosages commensurate with their age, weight, and physical condition.
Liver Disease
Major:
RadiaGuard
The lidocaine topical in RadiaGuard has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.
Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Lidocaine is rapidly and extensively metabolized by the liver. Less than 10% is eliminated unchanged in the urine. Several inactive and two active forms (MEGX and GX) have been identified. MEGX and GX exhibit antiarrhythmic and convulsant properties. The pharmacokinetic disposition of lidocaine is altered by changes in hepatic function, including hepatic blood flow. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously and dosing modified for patients with compromised hepatic function.
Renal Dysfunction
Major:
RadiaGuard
The lidocaine topical in RadiaGuard has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.
Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Lidocaine is primarily eliminated by the kidney. Less than 10% is eliminated unchanged in the urine. Two active metabolites (MEGX and GX) have been identified that exhibit antiarrhythmic and convulsant properties. Serum concentrations of lidocaine and the active metabolites are increased and the half-life prolonged in patients with renal impairment. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously and dosing modified for repeated doses in patients with compromised renal function.
Seizures
Major:
RadiaGuard
The lidocaine topical in RadiaGuard has a major potential interaction with Seizures.
Lidocaine topical is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes. Prolonged exposure, large doses, and/or application to compromised skin or mucosa can result in elevated plasma concentrations of lidocaine. Seizures can occur as a result of accumulation of active metabolites. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously to patients with or predisposed to seizure disorders.
Shock
Major:
RadiaGuard
The lidocaine topical in RadiaGuard has a major potential interaction with Shock.
Lidocaine is absorbed through intact skin and mucosal membranes following topical administration. Prolonged exposure, large doses, frequent applications and/or use on compromised skin or mucosa can produce systemic effects. At high plasma levels, lidocaine can cause hypotension, bradycardia, and cardiovascular collapse. Therapy with lidocaine topical should be administered cautiously in patients with shock, sinus bradyarrhythmia, or severe heart block. The recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Children and debilitated, elderly, or acutely ill patients should be given reduced dosages commensurate with their age, weight, and physical condition.
Teething Syndrome
Major:
RadiaGuard
The lidocaine topical in RadiaGuard has a major potential interaction with Teething Syndrome.
Topical lidocaine is not recommended to be used in teething infants and young children, as its ingestion is dangerous and potentially fatal. Ingestion of the drug has shown to result in seizures, severe brain injury, and heart problems in children.
