Summary
Teduglutide improves intestinal fluid and nutrient absorption and may therefore increase absorption of oral drugs such as prochlorperazine. This could raise prochlorperazine exposure and produce more sedation or extrapyramidal effects.
What this interaction means in plain words
Prochlorperazine and Teduglutide have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Prochlorperazine belongs to Central Nervous System; Teduglutide belongs to Endocrine.
Why it happens
