Consumer:Nitazoxanide may increase the blood levels and effects of phenytoin. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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: Coadministration with nitazoxanide may increase the free plasma concentrations of drugs and/or their active metabolites that are highly bound to plasma proteins. The pharmacologic effects of some drugs may be increased by this interaction. The proposed mechanism is competitive displacement from protein binding sites by tizoxanide, the active metabolite of nitazoxanide that is greater than 99.9% bound to plasma proteins.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when other highly protein-bound drugs are used with nitazoxanide, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic index. Patients should be monitored more closely following the addition or withdrawal of nitazoxanide. When performing therapeutic drug monitoring, total plasma concentrations should be interpreted cautiously due to the possibility of increased free (unbound) drug.
