- Vesanoid (tretinoin)
Interactions between your drugs
tretinoin eslicarbazepine
Applies to: Vesanoid (tretinoin), eslicarbazepine
MONITOR: Concomitant use of moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers with tretinoin (systemic) may decrease the plasma concentration of tretinoin, which is a CYP450 3A4 substrate. Reduced efficacy of tretinoin may occur. Studies document the interaction between endogenous retinoids and CYP450 3A4 inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital) showing decreased concentration of the retinoids and reduced efficacy. While clinical data specific to tretinoin are not available, similar effects may occur.
MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends monitoring patients for reduced efficacy of tretinoin.
