In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Ask your doctor before using secobarbital together with methoxyflurane. This can cause serious side effects on your kidneys. Call your doctor if your experience fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, and severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use both medications.

Professional:

GENERALLY AVOID: Barbiturates may increase risk of methoxyflurane-induced nephrotoxicity. Laboratory and animal studies have demonstrated that barbiturates increase the metabolism of methoxyflurane to nephrotoxic metabolities (particularly inorganic fluoride), probably by CYP450 induction.

MANAGEMENT: Methoxyflurane should generally not be administered to patients receiving barbiturates concurrently and for several weeks after barbiturates have been discontinued.
