The effects of buspirone are decreased when the drug is administered with fluoxetine Increased serum levels of buspirone occur if the drug is taken with erythromycin or itraconazole Should any of these combinations be required, the dosage of buspirone is decreased to 2.5 mg BID, and the patient is monitored closely. Venlafaxine blood levels increase with a risk of toxicity when administered witii MAOIs or cimetidine There is an increased risk of toxicity when trazodone is administered with the phenothiazines and decreased effectiveness of trazodone when it is administered with carbamazepine Increased serum digoxin levels have occurred when digoxin is administered with trazodone There is a risk for increased phenytoin levels when phenytoin is administered witii trazodone...

Certain medications (e.g., cimetidine, diltiazem, erythromycin, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, isoniazid, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, propoxyphene, and verapamil) added to carbamazepine therapy may cause carbamazepine toxicity. 

Sildenafil doses should be decreased when any potent cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitor is used (e g., cimetidine, erythromycin, clarithromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, and saquinavir). Vardenafil doses vary accordingto which agent is used (2.5 mg q 72 h for ritonavir, 2.5 mg q 24 h for indinavir, ketoconazole 400 mg daily, and itraconazole 400 mg daily and 5 mg q 24 h for ketoconazole 200 mg daily, itraconazole200 mg daily, and erythromycin). Tadalafil doses are reduced only when it is used with the most potent cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors (e g., ketoconazole or ritonavir). 

Drugs that can increase carbamazepine serum levels include cimetidine, danazol, diltiazem, erythromycin, felbamate, clarithromycin, fluoxetine, isoniazid, niacinamide, propoxyphene, ketaconazole, itraconazole, verapamil, valproate, troleandomycin, loratadine, nicotinamide, tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs, nefazodone, protease inhibitors. 

Drugs that may increase sirolimus blood concentrations include the following Nicardipine, verapamil, clotrimazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, erythromycin, troleandomycin, cisapride, metoclopramide, bromocriptine, cimetidine, danazol, HIV-protease inhibitors, cyclosporine, diltiazem, azole antifungals. 

Coadminister known CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, erythromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, calcium channel blockers, cimetidine) with caution in patients with widespread or erythrodermic disease. 

With the important exception of additive effects when combined with other CNS depressants, including alcohol, BZDs interact with very few drugs. Disulfiram (see the section The Alcoholic Patient in Chapter 14) and cimetidine may increase BZD blood levels, and diazepam may increase blood levels of digoxin and phenytoin. Antacids may reduce the clinical effects of clorazepate by hindering its biotransformation to desmethyidiazepam. Coadministration of a BZD and another drug known to induce seizures may possibly increase seizure risk, especially if the BZD is abruptly withdrawn. Furthermore, as noted earlier, important interactions have been reported among nefazodone, erythromycin, troleandomycin, and other macrolide antibiotics, as well as itraconazole. In each case, metabolism is inhibited, and triazolam levels can increase significantly. 

Drugs that may inhibit cytochrome P450 metabolism of other drugs include amiodarone, androgens, atazanavir, chloramphenicol, cimetidine, ciprofloxacin, clarithromycin, cyclosporine, delavirdine, diltiazem, diphenhydramine, disulfiram, enoxacin, erythromycin, fluconazole, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, furanocoumarins (substances in grapefruit juice), indinavir, isoniazid, itraconazole, ketoconazole, metronidazole, mexile-tine, miconazole, nefazodone, omeprazole, paroxetine, propoxyphene, quinidine, ritonavir, sulfamethizole, verapamil, voriconazole, zafirlukast, and zileuton.

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).

Drug interactions Cimetidine is a CYP450 inhibitor and can inhibit the metabolism of phenytoin, warfarin, and theophylline. Famotidine, nizatidine, and ranitidine are unlikely to cause clinically significant drug interactions. All antagonists have the potential to interact with other drugs that require gastric acid for absorption (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole).
