Consumer:Talk to your doctor before using hydrocortisone together with sodium phenylbutyrate. Hydrocortisone may increase ammonia levels in the blood and reduce the effectiveness of sodium phenylbutyrate in the treatment of urea cycle disorders. You may need a dosage adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor 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.
Professional:MONITOR: Drugs that can increase plasma ammonia levels such as corticosteroids, haloperidol, or the anticonvulsants carbamazepine, topiramate, and phenobarbital may interfere with the therapeutic effects of phenylbutyrate therapy in the management of urea cycle disorders. Corticosteroids can cause the breakdown of body protein, which may lead to increased ammonia levels. The use of haloperidol has been associated with hyperammonemia in a young child with citrullinemia, an inherited disorder of ammonia excretion. The mechanism for haloperidol, carbamazepine, topiramate, and phenobarbital has not been established.
MANAGEMENT: Plasma ammonia levels should be closely monitored when corticosteroids, haloperidol, carbamazepine, topiramate, or phenobarbital are used in patients with urea cycle disorders receiving phenylbutyrate therapy.
