Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

interferon alfa-2b sodium phosphate p32

Applies to: Rebetron (interferon alfa-2b / ribavirin) and sodium phosphate p32

MONITOR: The concomitant use of bone marrow depressants and sodium phosphate P-32 may have additive myelosuppressive effects.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be monitored for excessive bone marrow suppression during treatment with sodium phosphate P-32. Sodium phosphate P-32 should not be used as part of a sequential treatment with a chemotherapeutic agent. Dose reductions of the other bone marrow depressants may be necessary. The manufacturer's labeling should be consulted for more specific recommendations for each agent involved. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they develop signs and symptoms of myelosuppression such as pallor, dizziness, fatigue, lethargy, fainting, easy bruising or bleeding, or signs of infection such as fever, chills, sore throat, body aches, and other influenza-like symptoms.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

ribavirin food

Applies to: Rebetron (interferon alfa-2b / ribavirin)

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food enhances the oral absorption and bioavailability of ribavirin. Administration of a single oral dose of ribavirin following a high-fat meal delayed absorption (Tmax was doubled) but increased the mean peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by up to 70% compared to administration in the fasting state.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure maximal oral absorption, ribavirin should be administered with or immediately after a meal.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
