Animal studies (rats and mice) have shown that pretreatment with phenobarbital significantly reduces the antitumor activity of lomustine. The mechanism may involve a markedly enhanced rate of drug elimination from the plasma, probably as a result of microsomal-enzyme induction by phenobarbital. This interaction has been documented with carmustine, a related nitrosourea. Until further data are available, no specific precautions are recommended.
