Sintesi
Pefloxacin inhibits CYP1A2, the main enzyme clearing tizanidine, so tizanidine levels can rise markedly. This can cause severe hypotension, bradycardia and profound sedation, as seen with the related drug ciprofloxacin.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Pefloxacin and Tizanidine 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.
Pefloxacin belongs to Anti Bacterial; Tizanidine belongs to Musculoskeletal.
Perché avviene
Inhibition of CYP1A2 by pefloxacin reduces tizanidine clearance.
Cosa fare
Avoid the combination and use an antibiotic that does not inhibit CYP1A2. If it cannot be avoided, use a much lower tizanidine dose and monitor blood pressure and heart rate closely.
