Drug Interaction Report

Coadministration with rizatriptan may alter the plasma concentrations of drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP450 2D6. Rizatriptan has been shown to be a competitive inhibitor of CYP450 2D6 in vitro, but only at high, clinically irrelevant concentrations and a clinically significant inhibitory effect on CYP450 2D6 has not been demonstrated in clinical drug interaction studies. Based on these observations, rizatriptan may be administered with CYP450 2D6 substrates without the need for increased clinical monitoring

GENERALLY AVOID: Risperidone oral solution is not compatible with either tea or cola. In addition, alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of risperidone. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

MANAGEMENT: Risperidone oral solution should not be mixed with tea or cola. It may be taken with water, coffee, orange juice, or lowfat milk. Patients should also be advised to avoid consumption of alcohol.
