Consumer:Talk to your doctor before using erythromycin and sertraline. This can cause altered consciousness, confusion, poor muscle coordination, abdominal cramping, shivering, pupillary dilation, sweating, high blood pressure, and high heart rate. 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:GENERALLY AVOID: The use of some macrolide antibiotics has been associated with increased blood levels of some selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), resulting in excessive serotonergic effects or serotonin syndrome. The mechanism is inhibition of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme, which metabolizes SSRIs.
MANAGEMENT: In cases where both drugs are necessary, one could consider using a macrolide antibiotic that does not inhibit CYP450 3A4, such as azithromycin or dirithromycin.
