Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Mitotane could theoretically decrease the plasma levels and clinical effectiveness of barbiturates by inducing their hepatic metabolism. Until more data are available, be cognizant of the possibility of decreased clinical effectiveness from barbiturates when mitotane is added to a patient's regimen, as well as the risk of barbiturate toxicity upon mitotane withdrawal.
