Check result:

Prednisone Delayed-Release Tablets <> Seconal Sodium

Relevance: 05.05.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

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 predniSONE together with secobarbital can make predniSONE less effective. Talk with your doctor before using these medications together, or before you stop using secobarbital. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take 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: Barbiturates may decrease the plasma concentrations and systemic effects of both endogenous and exogenous corticosteroids. The mechanism is accelerated corticosteroid metabolism due to induction of the CYP450 3A4 enzymatic pathway by barbiturates.

MANAGEMENT: Patients treated concomitantly with a barbiturate may require higher dosages of corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic agents. Pharmacologic response to these agents should be monitored more closely whenever a barbiturate is added to or withdrawn from therapy in patients stabilized on their existing corticosteroid or adrenocorticotropic regimen, and the dosage(s) adjusted as necessary.
