Relevance: 11.08.2023 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

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.

Consumer:

Before using erythromycin, tell your doctor if you also use busPIRone. This can cause drowsiness, feeling light-headed, uneven heart rate, depressed mood, unusual thoughts or behavior, or lack coordination. If you take both medications together, tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment if you 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: The combination of buspirone and some macrolide antibiotics may lead to elevated buspirone concentrations and adverse effects. The mechanism may be due to macrolide inhibition of CYP450 3A4 metabolism of buspirone. In one study, concomitant administration of buspirone with erythromycin resulted in a 5-fold and 6-fold increase in Cmax and AUC, respectively, of buspirone concentrations.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be monitored for adverse buspirone effects, such as increased sedation. A reduction in dosage of buspirone may be necessary. Some authorities suggest a buspirone dose of 2.5 mg twice daily with subsequent dose adjustments based on clinical response.
