Oxtriphylline and guaifenesin and Ritonavir Tablets
Determining the interaction of Oxtriphylline and guaifenesin and Ritonavir Tablets and the possibility of their joint administration.
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:Using ritonavir together with oxtriphylline may decrease the effects of oxtriphylline. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or if you experience breathing difficulties. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test 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: The coadministration with ritonavir may decrease the plasma concentrations of theophylline. The proposed mechanism is ritonavir induction of CYP450 1A2, the isoenzyme responsible for the metabolic clearance of theophylline. In a study involving 27 subjects, ritonavir (500 mg orally every 12 hours for 10 days) decreased the steady-state peak plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), and trough concentration (Cmin) of theophylline (3 mg/kg every 8 hours) by 32%, 43%, and 57%, respectively, compared to placebo. The half-life also decreased from 8.4 hours at baseline to 3.6 hours after 10 days of ritonavir.
MANAGEMENT: During coadministration with ritonavir, the possibility of a diminished therapeutic response to theophylline should be considered. Dosage adjustment as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate whenever ritonavir is added to or withdrawn from therapy.
