When two or more
medicines are taken together, it can change how the medicines work and increase the risk of side-effects. In medical terms, this is called as a
Drug Interaction.
Erybid Tablet interacts with
digoxin, which is used to treat heart disorder. The use of Erybid with
digoxin may cause an increased level of digoxin in the blood. The dosage adjustment should be done as necessary. The patients should be monitored carefully particularly when using Erybid together with medicine that prolongs the heartbeat.
There may be an interaction of
Erybid with
calcium channel blockers, which are used to treat high blood pressure. The use of Erybid with
calcium channel blockers such as
verapamil, may cause low blood pressure, slow heart rhythms, and excessive lactic acid accumulation in the body.
Erybid Tablet may interact with
theophylline, which is used to treat lung diseases such as
asthma. The use of Erybid with
theophylline may cause an increased amount of theophylline in the blood. If this happens, the dose of theophylline should be reduced while receiving concurrent therapy with Erybid.
Your doctor's guidelines may need to be followed while taking this medicine along with drugs undergone breakdown and elimination by a
liver enzyme (
cytochrome P450). The use of Erybid with drugs metabolized by a liver
enzyme (cytochrome P450) for example,
alfentanil,
acenocoumarol,
bromocriptine,
astemizole,
carbamazepine,
cyclosporin,
cilostazol,
disopyramide,
dihydroergotamine,
ergotamine,
methylprednisolone, hexobarbitone,
midazolam,
omeprazole,
quinidine,
phenytoin,
rifabutin,
tacrolimus,
sildenafil,
terfenadine,
domperidone,
theophylline,
triazolam,
vinblastine,
valproate, and antifungals e.g
ketoconazole,
fluconazole, and
itraconazole may increase the level of these drugs in the blood. The dosage adjustment should be done as necessary. The patients should be monitored carefully particularly when using Erybid together with medicine that prolongs the heartbeat.
Special instructions need to be followed while taking this medicine along with
anticoagulants, which are used to treat blood clots. When Erybid is used together with anticoagulants may increase the anticoagulant effects. This interaction is more noticeable in elderly patients.
Your doctor's guidelines may need to be followed while taking this medicine along with
Sildenafil (Viagra), which is used to treat erectile dysfunction. When using Erybid together with sildenafil, an increase in the systemic exposure of sildenafil is seen. A reduction in the dose of sildenafil is recommended while using it together with Erybid.
Special instructions need to be followed while taking this medicine along with
statins (HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors), which are used to reduce heart diseases. The use of Erybid with statins such as
lovastatin and
simvastatin, may increase the amount of statins in the body. It may also cause muscle injury and leakage of
protein content into the blood (
rhabdomyolysis) with or without kidney problems. Patients using Erybid with statins should be monitored for blood transaminase and
creatine kinase
enzymes levels.
Erybid Tablet interacts with CYP3A4 inducers. The use of Erybid with CYP3A4 inducers such as
phenytoin,
rifampicin,
phenobarbital,
carbamazepine, St John's Wort, may cause the breakdown and elimination of Erybid. This may result in a decrease in the effect of Erybid. The use of Erybid during or within two weeks after treatment with CYP3A4 inducers is not recommended.
There may be an interaction of
Erybid with triazolobenzodiazepines, which are used to treat
anxiety. The use of Erybid with benzodiazepines such as
triazolam and
alprazolam, may cause a decrease in the clearance of benzodiazepines. This may result in an increase in the effect of benzodiazepines in the body.
Erybid Tablet may interact with
ergotamine or
dihydroergotamine, which is used to treat
migraines. The use of Erybid with ergotamine or
dihydroergotamine may cause an increased level of ergots in the body which is associated with narrowing of blood vessels, severe blockage in the blood vessels in the
brain and other body parts. The use of Erybid with ergotamine or dihydroergotamine is not recommended.
Your doctor's guidelines may need to be followed while taking this medicine along with
cimetidine, which is used to treat
heartburn and stomach
ulcers. The use of cimetidine with Erybid may increase the amount of the Erybid in the blood by blocking its breakdown.
Special instructions need to be followed while taking this medicine along with
protease inhibitors which are used to treat viral infections. The use of Erybid with protease inhibitors may block the breakdown of Erybid.
There may be an interaction of
Erybid with contraceptives, which are used for birth control. The use of
contraceptive pills with Erybid may reduce the effects of contraceptive pills by decreasing the levels of
steroid in the blood.
Erybid Tablet may interact with
colchicine, which is used to treat
gout. The use of colchicine with Erybid may cause an increase in the amount of colchicine in the blood. The use of recommended doses of Erybid and colchicine together can be possibly fatal. The starting and maximum dose of colchicine should be reduced when used with Erybid. These patients should be monitored for the symptoms of increasing levels of the colchicine in the blood.
