Applies to: Duzallo (allopurinol / lesinurad) and Valproate Sodium (valproic acid)
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Coadministration with alcohol or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants may enhance the sedative effects of allopurinol and increase the likelihood and/or severity of central nervous system (CNS) side effects, such as drowsiness, somnolence, vertigo, and ataxia.
MANAGEMENT: Caution for increased CNS adverse effects is advised if allopurinol is coadministered with alcohol, other CNS depressants, or agents that cause dizziness or vertigo. Patients should not drive, operate machinery, or engage in hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how the medications affect them.
valproic acid lesinurad
Applies to: Valproate Sodium (valproic acid) and Duzallo (allopurinol / lesinurad)
Valproic acid may increase the blood levels of lesinurad. This may increase side effects such as kidney function impairment and kidney stones. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Drug and food interactions
allopurinol food
Applies to: Duzallo (allopurinol / lesinurad)
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The tolerability of allopurinol may be improved by giving it after a meal. Additionally, when the dose is greater than 300 mg, dividing the total daily dose into smaller doses administered more often may be appropriate to help minimize gastrointestinal irritation.
MONITOR: Concomitant use of allopurinol with central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may potentiate adverse effects such as somnolence and sedation.
MANAGEMENT: To improve tolerability, some manufacturers suggest administering allopurinol after a meal. Additionally, if the daily dose is greater than 300 mg, administering allopurinol in divided doses may help reduce gastrointestinal intolerance. Patients should also be counseled to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol and to avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until they know how the medication affects them.
valproic acid food
Applies to: Valproate Sodium (valproic acid)
Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of valproic acid such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with valproic acid. Do not use more than the recommended dose of valproic acid, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
