Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:Blood levels of hydrodolasetron, the major active metabolite of dolasetron, were increased 24% when given concomitantly with cimetidine. The mechanism is thought to be inhibition of the metabolism of hydrodolasetron by cimetidine. The clinical significance is unknown but may be low because hydrodolasetron is eliminated by multiple routes. The clinician may consider monitoring the patient more closely for dolasetron toxicity (hypotension, dizziness, arrhythmias) if this combination is used.
