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:Coadministration with vigabatrin may modestly decrease the plasma concentrations of phenytoin. The exact mechanism of interaction is unknown, although in vitro drug metabolism studies indicate that it may involve induction of CYP450 2C isoenzymes in some patients. A gradual reduction of 16% to 33% in phenytoin plasma levels has been reported in controlled clinical studies of vigabatrin. These changes are unlikely to be of therapeutic significance in most patients, and phenytoin dose adjustments are not routinely required. However, a dose adjustment should be considered if an interaction is suspected.
