Interactions between your drugs
ceftobiprole empagliflozin
Applies to: ceftobiprole medocaril, empagliflozin
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with ceftobiprole may increase the plasma concentrations and the risk of adverse effects of drugs that are substrates of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 and/or OATP1B3. The proposed mechanism is decreased clearance due to ceftobiprole-mediated inhibition of OATP1B1 and/or OATP1B3.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of ceftobiprole with drugs that are substrates of OATP1B1 and/or OATP1B3 is not recommended. Clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever ceftobiprole is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Dosage adjustments may be considered if an interaction is suspected. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.
Drug and food interactions
empagliflozin food
Applies to: empagliflozin
Alcohol may affect blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur, depending on how much and how often you drink. You should avoid using alcohol if your diabetes is not well controlled or if you have high triglycerides, neuropathy (nerve damage), or pancreatitis. Moderate alcohol consumption generally does not affect blood glucose levels if your diabetes is under control. However, it may be best to limit alcohol intake to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men (1 drink = 5 oz wine, 12 oz beer, or 1.5 oz distilled spirits) in conjunction with your normal meal plan. Avoid drinking alcohol on an empty stomach or following exercise, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
