Butalbital Compound and Tacrolimus Extended-Release Capsules
Determining the interaction of Butalbital Compound and Tacrolimus Extended-Release Capsules and the possibility of their joint administration.
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:Butalbital may reduce the blood levels of tacrolimus in some patients, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use 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: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of sirolimus and tacrolimus, both of which are primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme.
MANAGEMENT: Given the risk of organ rejection associated with inadequate immunosuppressant drug levels, caution is advised during concomitant therapy with CYP450 3A4 inducers. Sirolimus and tacrolimus blood levels should be checked frequently and the dosage adjusted accordingly whenever a CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
