A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.
Consumer:Fluconazole may increase the blood levels and effects of aminophylline. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if you develop nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, restlessness, insomnia, seizures, heart palpitations, and/or irregular heartbeat, as these may be signs and symptoms of excessive aminophylline levels. 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: The concurrent use of fluconazole may increase the serum concentrations of theophylline in some patients. The mechanism is unknown. When fluconazole 200 mg/day for 14 days was coadministered, the plasma clearance of theophylline decreased by an average of 18%. Toxicity could occur in patients whose theophylline levels are at the upper end of the therapeutic range.
MANAGEMENT: Clinical and laboratory monitoring is warranted if these agents are given concurrently. Dose adjustments are recommended if an interaction is suspected. Patients receiving this combination should be advised to report any signs of theophylline toxicity including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, restlessness, insomnia, or irregular heartbeat to their doctor.
