Fentanyl Cimetidine

Drugs that may affect amiodarone include hydantoins, cholestyramine, fluoroquinolones, rifamycins, ritonavir, and cimetidine. Drugs that may be affected by amiodarone include anticoagulants, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, cyclosporine, dextromethorphan, digoxin, disopyramide, fentanyl, flecainide, hydantoins, lidocaine, methotrexate, procainamide, quinidine, and theophylline. Drug/Lab test interactions Amiodarone alters the results of thyroid function tests, causing an increase in serum T4 and serum reverse T3 levels and a decline in...

Drugs metabolized by CYP that interact with cimetidine include, but are not limited to, the following lidocaine, quinidine, midazolam, triazolam, nifedipine, verapamil, and fentanyl (4). In each instance, inhibition of CYP by cimetidine results in reduced metabolic clearance and increases in serum concentrations of the other drug, which can lead to the expected toxicity and adverse experiences characteristic of the other drug. 

Omeprazole, like cimetidine, can impair benzodiazepine metabolism and lead to adverse effects (SEDA-18, 43). Other drugs, including antibiotics (erythromycin, chloramphenicol, isoniazid), antifungal drugs (ketoconazole, itraconazole, and analogues), some SSRIs (fluoxetine, paroxetine), other antidepressants (nefazodone), protease inhibitors (saquinavir), opioids (fentanyl), calcium channel blockers (diltiazem, verapamil), and disulfiram also compete for hepatic oxidative pathways that metabolize most benzodiazepines, as well as zolpidem, zopiclone, and buspirone (SEDA-22,39) (SEDA-22,41).

The hepatic metabolism of fentanyl can be inhibited by cimetidine, leading to respiratory depression and sedation (76,77).

The CYP3A4 isozyme is responsible for the metabolism of a large number of endogenous compounds as well as a wide range of drugs (50). Fentanyl, alfentanil, and sufentanil are substrates for CYP3A4, and therefore drugs that inhibit this enzyme, such as erythromycin, HIV protease inhibitors, or cimetidine.
