Mintezol and Alcohol/Food Interactions
There is 1 alcohol/food/lifestyle interaction with Mintezol (thiabendazole).
Thiabendazole Caffeine
Moderate Drug Interaction
MONITOR: Coadministration with thiabendazole may increase the plasma concentrations of caffeine. The mechanism is thiabendazole inhibition of the CYP450 1A2 metabolism of caffeine. In ten healthy, nonsmoking volunteers, administration of a single 136.5 mg dose of caffeine in combination with a single 500 mg dose of thiabendazole resulted in a nearly 60% increase in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of caffeine compared to administration without thiabendazole. In addition, the half-life of caffeine was increased from 11.9 to 28.6 hours, and oral clearance was reduced by 67% during coadministration with thiabendazole. The formation of paraxanthine from caffeine, which is primarily mediated by CYP450 1A2, was almost completely abolished until after the thiabendazole was cleared from the system.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised that pharmacologic effects of caffeine may be increased during coadministration with thiabendazole.
