Sintesi

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.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

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.

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

Livello di evidenza: Low

Perché avviene

Isoniazid inhibits CYP3A4, reducing ergotamine clearance.

Cosa fare

Avoid the combination where possible and use a non-ergot migraine treatment. If used, counsel the patient to report numbness, coldness or pain in the limbs promptly.
