Resumo
Benzhydrocodone is a prodrug of hydrocodone, which is metabolized by CYP3A4. Chloramphenicol may inhibit this pathway, raising hydrocodone levels and risking sedation and potentially fatal respiratory depression.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Benzhydrocodone / acetaminophen and Chloramphenicol 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
Inhibition of CYP3A4-mediated metabolism of hydrocodone, increasing its plasma concentrations.
O que fazer
Avoid if possible or use a lower opioid dose and monitor closely for sedation and respiratory depression. Reassess the dose if chloramphenicol is stopped, since opioid levels will fall.
