Résumé
Clarithromycin is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor and raises tolterodine exposure, particularly in CYP2D6 poor metabolizers. Increased levels may enhance anticholinergic effects and QT prolongation risk, and both drugs have QT liability.
Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples
Clarithromycin and Tolterodine 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.
Clarithromycin belongs to Anti Bacterial; Tolterodine belongs to Genitourinary.
Pourquoi elle survient
Strong CYP3A4 inhibition by clarithromycin reduces tolterodine metabolism, with additive QT effects.
Conduite à tenir
Limit tolterodine to 2 mg daily (1 mg twice daily for IR) during co-treatment, or use an alternative antibiotic such as azithromycin; monitor ECG in patients with QT risk factors.
