Consumer:

PrednisoLONE may reduce the blood levels and effects of zonisamide. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these medications. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring 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: Coadministration with drugs that are inducers of CYP450 3A4 may decrease the plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of zonisamide, which is primarily metabolized by the isoenzyme.

MANAGEMENT: Pharmacologic response to zonisamide should be monitored more closely whenever a CYP450 3A4 inducer is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the zonisamide dosage adjusted as necessary. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience loss of seizure control.
