Isoniazid Warfarin

Phenytoin interacts widi many different drugp. For example isoniazid, chloramphenicol, sulfonamides, benzodiazepines, succinimides, and cimetidine all increase phenytoin blood levels. The barbiturates, rifampin, theophylline, and warfarin decrease phenytoin blood levels. When administering the hydantoins with meperidine, die analgesic effect of meperidine is decreased. 

The effects of warfarin may increase when administered with acetaminophen, NSAIDs, beta blockers, disulfiram, isoniazid, chloral hydrate, loop diuretics, aminoglycosides, cimetidine, tetracyclines, and cephalosporins. Oral contraceptives, ascorbic acid, barbiturates, diuretics, and vitamin K decrease the effects of warfarin. Because die effects of warfarin are influenced by many drugp, die patient must notify die nurse or die primary healdi care provider when taking a new drug or discontinuing... 

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin cofactor for the activation of factors II, VII, IX, and X in the liver. Almost all neonates are vitamin K-deficient at as a result of (1) insignificant transplacental vitamin K crossover, (2) lack of colonization of the colon by vitamin K-producing bacteria, and (3) inadequate dietary vitamin K intake (especially in breast-fed infants because human milk contains less vitamin K than infant formula or cow s milk). Vitamin K-deficiency bleeding (VKDB) refers to bleeding attributable to vitamin K deficiency within first 6 months of life. It occurs in three general time frames early (0-24 hours), classic (1-7 days), and late (2-12 weeks). Early onset occurs rarely and usually is associated with maternal ingestion of anticonvulsants, rifampin, isoniazid, and warfarin. Classic vitamin K-dependent bleeding usually results from the lack of prophylactic vitamin K administration in...

Drugs that may interact with disulfiram include alcohol, benzodiazepines, caffeine, chlorzoxazone, cocaine, hydantoins, isoniazid, metronidazole, theophylline, tricyclic antidepressants, and warfarin. 

Isoniazid inhibits cytochrome P450 enzyme function and thus can interact with drugs that are subject to cytochrome P450 mediated metabolism like warfarin and the antiepileptic agents phenytoin and car-bamazepine.

Genetic factors that influence enzyme levels account for some of these differences. Succinylcholine, for example, is metabolized only half as rapidly in persons with genetically determined defects in pseudocholinesterase as in persons with normally functioning pseudocholinesterase. Analogous pharmacogenetic differences are seen in the acetylation of isoniazid (Figure 4-5) and the hydroxylation of warfarin. The defect in slow acetylators (of isoniazid and similar amines) appears to be caused by the synthesis of less of the enzyme rather than of an abnormal form of it. Inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, the slow acetylator phenotype occurs in about 50% of blacks and... 

Isoniazid Isoniazid is incompatible with sugars. Isoniazid overdose may be severe to fatal, and treatment is symptomatic and supportive, including stomach wash for control of convulsions and treating metabolic acidosis. Administration of pyridoxine and hemodialysis may be needed. Isoniazid interacts with carba-mazepine, phenytoin, diazepam, triazolam, chlorzoxazone, theophylline, ethosux-imide, enflurane, cycloserine, and warfarin.

Transient elevations of the serum transaminases occur in 12% to 15% of patients receiving isoniazid and usually occur within the first 8 to 12 weeks of therapy. Overt hep ato toxicity, however, occurs in only 1% of cases. Risk factors for hepatotoxicity include patient age, preexisting liver disease, excessive alcohol intake, pregnancy, and the postpartum state. Isoniazid also may result in neurotoxicity, most frequently presenting as peripheral neuropathy or, in overdose, as seizures and coma. Patients with pyridox-ine deficiency, such as pregnant women, alcoholics, children, and the malnourished, are at increased risk. Isoniazid may inhibit the metabolism of phenytoin, carbamazepine, primidone, and warfarin." Patients who are being treated with these agents should be monitored closely, and appropriate dose adjustments should be made when necessary. 

Vitamin status also may be affected by drugs (Table 135-15). For example, sulfasalazine therapy has been noted to cause a decrease in folic acid, isoniazid therapy causes pyridoxine deficiency, and furosemide therapy may result in decreased thiamin concentrations. Furthermore, some drug therapy outcomes may be affected by vitamin intake. The ingestion of megadoses of folic acid may decrease methotrexate s therapeutic effect, whereas changes in an individual s usual vitamin K intake may cause variability in warfarin s anticoagulation effects.
