Ergotamine levels rise when CYP3A4 is inhibited, and this can lead to ergotism with severe peripheral vasospasm and ischemia. Isoniazid is a weaker CYP3A4 inhibitor than macrolides or azoles, but the potential toxicity is serious.

Ergotamine and Isoniazid 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.
