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. 

Patients should be advised to rest and to avoid extreme heat. They should be warned that symptoms may be aggravated by illness, stress, malnutrition, pain, or surgery. Various drugs have been shown to worsen symptoms of myasthenia gravis. These include the aminoglycoside antibiotics such as tobramycin, gentamicin, and neomycin tetracyclines such as doxycycline and minocycline class 1 antiarrhythmics such as lidocaine, quinidine, and procainamide magnesium in calcium and multivitamin supplements beta-blockers such as timolol and propranolol calcium channel blockers such as verapamil and penicillamine. 

In vitro studies found quinupristin/dalfopristin inhibited the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP3A4-mediated metabolism of docetaxel, tamoxifen, and terfenadine. Quinupristin/dalfopristin is predicted to raise the levels of other drugs ineluding antiarrhythmics (disopyramide, lidocaine, quinidine), antiretrovirals (such as delavirdine, indinavir, nevirapine, ritonavir), astemizole, carbamazepine, cisapride, methyl-prednisolone, paclitaxel, statins (but see Lipid regulating drugs , (p.l086)), and vinca alkaloids. More study is needed. 

In addition to these emergency measures, doctors, nurses, or paramedics may inject one or more doses of adrenalin, atropine, digitalis, lidocaine, quinidine, or sodium bicarbonate so as to obtain the desired rhythm, speed, and force of the heartbeat.

Generally, plasma protein binding of acidic drugs (e.g., warfarin, pheny-toin) is decreased in CKD, whereas binding of basic drugs (e.g., quinidine, lidocaine) is usually normal or slightly decreased or increased.

The enzyme is the principal participant in N-demethylation reactions where the substrate is a tertiary amine. The list of substrates includes erythromycin, ethylmor-phine, lidocaine, diltiazem, tamoxifen, toremifene, verapamil, cocaine, amiodarone, alfentanil and terfenadine. Carbon atoms in the allylic and benzylic positions, such as those present in quinidine, steroids and cyclosporin A, are also particularly prone to oxidation by CYP3A4, a range of substrates is illustrated in Figure 7.10. 

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 interactions Serious and/or life-threatening drug interactions could occur between amprenavir and amiodarone, lidocaine (systemic), tricyclic antidepressants, and quinidine. Concentration monitoring of these agents is recommended if these agents are used concomitantly with amprenavir. 

Drugs that may be affected by fosamprenavir include the following Amiodarone, amitriptyline, benzodiazepines, calcium channel blockers, cisapride, contraceptives (oral), cyclosporine, ergot derivatives, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, imipramine, itraconazole, ketoconazole, lidocaine (systemic), methadone, pimozide, quinidine, rifabutin, sildenafil, tacrolimus, vardenafil, warfarin. 

The electrophysiological properties of lidocaine in atrial muscle resemble those produced by quinidine. Membrane responsiveness, action potential amplitude, and atrial muscle excitability are all decreased. These changes result in a decrease in conduction velocity. However, the depression of conduction velocity is less marked than that caused by quinidine or procainamide. Action potential duration of atrial muscle fibers is not altered by lidocaine at either normal or subnormal extracellular K+ levels. The ERP of atrial myocardium either remains the same or increases slightly after lidocaine administration. 

Concurrent administration of propafenone with digoxin, warfarin, propranolol, or metoprolol increases the serum concentrations of the latter four drugs. Cimetidine slightly increases the propafenone serum concentrations. Additive pharmacological effects can occur when lidocaine, procainamide, and quinidine are combined with propafenone.

Omeprazole can inhibit the metabolism of drugs metabolised mainly by the cytochrome P-450 enzyme subfamily 2C (diazepam, phenytoin), but not of those metabolished by subfamilies lA (caffeine, theophylline), 2D (metoprolol, propranolol), and 3A (ciclosporin, lidocaine (lignocaine), quinidine). Since relatively few drugs are metabolised mainly by 2C compared with 2D and 3A, the potential for omeprazole to interfere with the metabolism of other drugs appears to be limited, but the half lives of diazepam and phenytoin are prolonged as much as by cimetidine. 

Antiarrhythmic therapy carries with it a number of risks. In some cases, the risk of an adverse reaction is clearly related to high dosages or plasma concentrations. Examples include lidocaine-induced tremor or quinidine-induced cinchonism. In other cases, adverse reactions are unrelated to high plasma concentrations (eg, procainamide-induced agranulocytosis). For many serious adverse reactions to antiarrhythmic drugs, the combination of drug therapy and the underlying heart disease appears important.

Alpharacid glycoprotein exists in concentrations that are 50 to 100 times lower than those of albumin. Basic drugs (quinidine, imipramine, propranolol, and lidocaine) bind to the single site present on alpharacid glycoprotein.
