Consumer:Using acetaminophen together with isoniazid may alter the effects of acetaminophen and cause serious side effects that may affect your liver. Call your doctor immediately if you experience a fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, excessive tiredness or weakness, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash or itching, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or the whites of your eyes. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take both medications. 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.
Professional:MONITOR: Some reports have suggested that isoniazid may increase the potential hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen. The mechanism may be related to induction of CYP450 2E1 metabolism of acetaminophen to toxic metabolites during concurrent administration, or transient increased metabolism of acetaminophen after discontinuation of isoniazid. Study data have been conflicting and causality is unclear due to the presence of other drugs in some cases. Both isoniazid and acetaminophen have individually been associated with hepatotoxicity.
MANAGEMENT: Until more information is available, concurrent acetaminophen use should be limited. Close attention should be paid to clinical and laboratory evidence of hepatotoxicity. Both drugs should be discontinued if evidence of hepatoxicity is observed. Aspirin or nonsteroidal inflammatory agents may be safer alternatives.
