Résumé

Benzhydrocodone is a prodrug of hydrocodone, which is metabolised by CYP3A4 to norhydrocodone. Imatinib inhibits CYP3A4, which can raise hydrocodone levels and increase sedation and respiratory depression.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Benzhydrocodone / acetaminophen and Imatinib can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Niveau de preuve: Moderate

Pourquoi elle survient

CYP3A4 inhibition by imatinib reduces hydrocodone clearance, with a minor contribution from CYP2D6 inhibition.

Conduite à tenir

Monitor closely for sedation and respiratory depression, and reduce the opioid dose if needed. Take care when imatinib is started or stopped.
