Aminophylline Tablets and Junel Fe 1.5/30

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Ethinyl estradiol may increase the blood levels and effects of aminophylline. 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.

MONITOR: The coadministration with contraceptive steroids may increase the plasma concentrations of theophylline and other methylxanthines. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of methylxanthine metabolism via hepatic microsomal enzymes, of which estrogens and progestins are also substrates. In one study, theophylline clearance was approximately 30% lower in oral contraceptive users than in nonusers. However, clinical data have been conflicting.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised during concomitant therapy with methylxanthines and hormonal contraceptives. Serum theophylline levels and pharmacologic response should be monitored and the dosage adjusted accordingly, particularly following initiation or discontinuation of hormonal contraceptives in patients who are stabilized on their theophylline regimen. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience signs and symptoms of theophylline toxicity such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, restlessness, insomnia, and irregular heartbeat.
