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.

Sintesi

Intrathecal metrizamide lowers the seizure threshold, and phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine also lower it. Giving them together raises the risk of convulsions after myelography.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Chlorpromazine and Metrizamide are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Additive lowering of the seizure threshold; the precise mechanism is not well established.

Cosa fare

Stop the phenothiazine at least 48 hours before myelography where feasible, and do not restart it for at least 24 hours afterwards. Use a non-ionic contrast agent suited to intrathecal use, and avoid this combination.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista
