Applies to: buprenorphine / naloxone, benzgalantamine
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors may have vagotonic effects on the sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes, which occasionally manifest as bradycardia or heart block (<2%). Because bradycardia is a risk factor for torsade de pointes, a theoretical risk exists when combined with agents that prolong the QT interval. In general, the risk of an individual agent or a combination of agents causing ventricular arrhythmia in association with QT prolongation is largely unpredictable but may be increased by certain underlying risk factors including, but not limited to congenital long QT syndrome, cardiac disease, and electrolyte disturbances (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia). In addition, the extent of drug-induced QT prolongation may vary depending on the dosage(s) and specific drug(s) involved.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used with drugs that can prolong the QT interval. Patients should be monitored for bradycardia, atrioventricular block and syncope, and advised to seek medical attention if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or slow or irregular heartbeat.
Drug and food interactions
buprenorphine food
Applies to: buprenorphine / naloxone
Do not use alcohol or medications that contain alcohol while you are receiving treatment with buprenorphine. This may increase nervous system side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, difficulty concentrating, and impairment in thinking and judgment. In severe cases, low blood pressure, respiratory distress, fainting, coma, or even death may occur. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. Do not use more than the recommended dose of buprenorphine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.
