Resumo
Alvimopan is a peripherally acting mu-opioid antagonist, and diphenoxylate is an opioid. Opioid-exposed patients may be more sensitive to alvimopan and can develop abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, while antidiarrheal efficacy may be reduced.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Alvimopan and Diphenoxylate-atropine 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.
Por que acontece
Competitive antagonism of peripheral mu-opioid receptors by alvimopan opposes diphenoxylate's gut effects.
O que fazer
Avoid alvimopan in patients who have been taking opioids, including diphenoxylate, for a prolonged period before surgery. Use alternative management for diarrhea and postoperative ileus if appropriate.
