Riluzoleinteractions
riluzole 50 MG Oral Tablet
This is the interactions section of this product’s FDA label — what the manufacturer documented for this drug. It is not a check of your medication list, and a drug missing from it has not been cleared: licensed clinical databases list far more interactions than any single label does. Before combining medicines, ask a pharmacist, who can check everything you take at once and will do it for free.
Named on this label
Every name above is printed in the text below. This is not the full set of drugs that interact with this one — it is the set this manufacturer wrote down.
Drug interactions
Strong to moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors: Coadministration may increase riluzole-associated adverse reactions Strong to moderate CYP1A2 inducers: Coadministration may result in decreased efficacy Hepatotoxic drugs: Riluzole-treated patients that take other hepatotoxic drugs may be at increased risk for hepatotoxicity
7.1 Agents that may
Increase Riluzole Blood Concentrations CYP1A2 inhibitors Coadministration of riluzole (a CYP1A substrate) with CYP1A2 inhibitors was not evaluated in a clinical trial; however, in vitro findings suggest an increase in riluzole exposure is likely. The concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP1A2 inhibitors (e.g., ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, fluvoxamine, methoxsalen, mexiletine, oral contraceptives, thiabendazole, vemurafenib, zileuton) with riluzole may increase the risk of riluzole-associated adverse reactions.
7.2 Agents that may
Decrease Riluzole Plasma Concentrations CYP1A2 inducers Coadministration of riluzole (a CYP1A substrate) with CYP1A2 inducers was not evaluated in a clinical trial; however, in vitro findings suggest a decrease in riluzole exposure is likely. Lower exposures may result in decreased efficacy.
7.3 Hepatotoxic
Drugs Clinical trials in ALS patients excluded patients on concomitant medications which were potentially hepatotoxic (e.g., allopurinol, methyldopa, sulfasalazine). Riluzole-treated patients who take other hepatotoxic drugs may be at an increased risk for hepatotoxicity.
