Consumer:Ask your doctor before using rifAMPin together with hemin. Using these medications together may cause hemin to be less effective. 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: Coadministration with drugs that are capable of increasing the activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase (e.g., estrogens, barbiturates, steroid metabolites, rifampin) may negate the pharmacologic effect of hemin. In the treatment of porphyria, hemin is thought to limit the rate of porphyrin/heme biosynthesis by inhibiting delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase, thus any induction of this enzyme would be expected to counteract the therapeutic effect of hemin.
MANAGEMENT: Drugs capable of increasing the activity of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase should be avoided during hemin therapy.
