Interactions between your drugs
dexAMETHasone moxifloxacin
Applies to: dexamethasone / moxifloxacin, dexamethasone / moxifloxacin
Moxifloxacin and other medications in its class can cause tendinitis and tendon rupture, and the risk may be increased when combined with a steroid such as dexAMETHasone. Older adults over 60 years of age and those who have received a kidney, heart, and/or lung transplant may be particularly susceptible. Tendon rupture can occur during or up to several months after finishing moxifloxacin treatment and may require surgery or result in prolonged disability. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. Stop taking moxifloxacin and call your doctor immediately if you experience pain, swelling, or inflammation of a tendon area such as the back of the ankle, shoulder, biceps, hand, or thumb. You should also avoid exercise or use of the affected area until further instruction from your doctor. 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.
dexAMETHasone atrasentan
Applies to: dexamethasone / moxifloxacin, atrasentan
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with potent or moderate inducers of CYP450 3A4 may significantly decrease the plasma concentrations of atrasentan, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme. In drug interaction studies, coadministration with the potent CYP450 3A4 inducer rifampin reduced atrasentan (single dose, 10 mg) trough plasma concentration (Ctrough) by 90%. Rifampin is also an inhibitor of the hepatic influx transporters organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) 1B1 and 1B3, of which atrasentan is a substrate. No data are available about potent or moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers that do not inhibit OATP1B1 and/or 1B3, but greater decreases in atrasentan exposure may occur.
MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of atrasentan with potent or moderate CYP450 3A4 inducers should generally be avoided.
