Ultimo aggiornamento

Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Isoniazid raises carbamazepine concentrations, leading to toxicity such as dizziness, ataxia, diplopia and nausea, and both drugs are hepatotoxic. Carbamazepine may in turn increase the formation of toxic isoniazid metabolites.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Carbamazepine 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.

Carbamazepine belongs to Central Nervous System; Isoniazid belongs to Anti Bacterial.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Isoniazid inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism of carbamazepine, and carbamazepine induction may increase hepatotoxic isoniazid metabolites.

Cosa fare

Monitor carbamazepine levels and reduce the dose if needed. Check liver function regularly and watch for signs of hepatotoxicity.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista
