Interactions between your drugs
ROPivacaine treosulfan
Applies to: hydromorphone / ropivacaine, treosulfan
MONITOR: Coadministration with treosulfan may increase the plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP450 3A4, 2C19, and/or the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The proposed mechanism is decreased clearance due to inhibition of these routes of elimination due to treosulfan. According to physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, treosulfan is predicted to be a weak to moderate CYP450 3A4 inhibitor and weak inhibitor of CYP450 2C19, with negligible inhibitory effects on P-gp. However, according to the manufacturer, in vitro studies were unable to exclude potential drug-drug interactions with high plasma concentrations of treosulfan and CYP450 3A4, 2C19, and/or P-gp substrates.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is recommended if treosulfan is coadministered with substrates of CYP450 3A4, 2C19, and/or P-gp, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Some authorities advise that if concomitant use is required, the dosage of these substrates should be administered either 2 hours before or 8 hours after administration of the treosulfan infusion. The prescribing information of the substrates may be consulted for potential dose reductions.

Drug and food interactions
HYDROmorphone food
Applies to: hydromorphone / ropivacaine
GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate the central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects of opioid analgesics including hydromorphone. Concomitant use may result in additive CNS depression and impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills. In more severe cases, hypotension, respiratory depression, profound sedation, coma, or even death may occur.
GENERALLY AVOID: Consumption of alcohol while taking sustained-release formulations of hydromorphone may cause rapid release of the drug, resulting in high systemic levels of hydromorphone that may be potentially lethal even in opioid-tolerant patients. Alcohol appears to disrupt the extended release mechanism, causing 'dose-dumping' into the bloodstream. In 48 healthy volunteers, coadministration of a 12 mg dose of sustained-release hydromorphone with 240 mL of 40% (80 proof) alcohol resulted in a mean peak hydromorphone concentration (Cmax) approximately six times greater than when taken with water. One subject had a 16-fold increase in hydromorphone Cmax with 40% alcohol compared to water. In some subjects, coadministration with 8 ounces of 4% alcohol (equivalent to 2/3 of a typical serving of beer) resulted in almost twice the hydromorphone Cmax than when coadministered with water. The effect of alcohol was more pronounced in a fasted state.
MANAGEMENT: Patients taking sustained-release formulations of hydromorphone should not consume alcohol or use medications that contain alcohol on days of hydromorphone dosing. In general, potent narcotics such as hydromorphone should not be combined with alcohol.

Drug Interaction Classification
| Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit. | |
| Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances. | |
| Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan. | |
