Interactions between your drugs
methoxyflurane tirzepatide
Applies to: methoxyflurane and tirzepatide
Medications like tirzepatide can delay the emptying of food and liquid from your stomach. If you are scheduled for a surgery or procedure that requires general anesthesia with methoxyflurane, you may have residual contents in your stomach despite following the fasting instructions provided by your doctor. This can increase the risk of regurgitation during anesthesia and having the stomach contents inhaled into the lungs, which can cause inflammation or injury to the lungs, pneumonia, or even death. Therefore, it is important to let your doctor know prior to your surgery or procedure that you are receiving treatment with tirzepatide. Depending on your condition and your individual circumstances, the doctor may instruct you to temporarily withhold treatment with tirzepatide in advance, or they make take extra precaution during anesthesia and your surgery/procedure to minimize the risks. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interfere with the safety of your anesthesia. 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.
