Drug Interaction Report

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

MONITOR: Coadministration with oritavancin may decrease the plasma concentrations and therapeutic effects drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4 and/or 2D6. The proposed mechanism is increased clearance due to oritavancin-mediated induction of these isoenzymes. In a screening drug interaction study in 16 healthy volunteers, a single 1,200 mg dose of oritavancin decreased midazolam systemic exposure (AUC) by 18% and the urinary dextromethorphan-to-dextrorphan ratio by 31%, indicating weak induction of CYP450 3A4 and 2D6, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when oritavancin used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4 and/or 2D6, particularly sensitive substrates or those for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failure. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever oritavancin is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Individual product labeling for the CYP450 3A4 and/or 2D6 substrate(s) should be consulted for further guidance.

Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of tiaGABine such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with tiaGABine. Do not use more than the recommended dose of tiaGABine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
