Interactions between your drugs
mephobarbital levobupivacaine
Applies to: Mebaral (mephobarbital), levobupivacaine
Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 1A2 and/or 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of levobupivacaine, which is primarily metabolized by these isoenzymes. However, the clinical significance is unknown, as the interaction has not been studied nor reported in the medical literature.

Drug and food interactions

Applies to: Mebaral (mephobarbital)
GENERALLY AVOID: Concurrent acute use of barbiturates and ethanol may result in additive CNS effects, including impaired coordination, sedation, and death. Tolerance of these agents may occur with chronic use. The mechanism is related to inhibition of microsomal enzymes acutely and induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes chronically.
MANAGEMENT: The combination of ethanol and barbiturates should be avoided.
