Secobarbital may reduce the blood levels and effects of ergotamine. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these medications. 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.

MONITOR: Coadministration with inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations of ergot alkaloids, which are substrates of the isoenzyme.

MANAGEMENT: The potential for diminished therapeutic effects of ergot alkaloids should be considered when used in combination with CYP450 3A4 inducers.
