This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- MLK F2 (bupivacaine/lidocaine/triamcinolone)
- Rotarix (rotavirus vaccine)
Interactions between your drugs
lidocaine BUPivacaine
Applies to: MLK F2 (bupivacaine / lidocaine / triamcinolone) and MLK F2 (bupivacaine / lidocaine / triamcinolone)
Additional use of local anesthetics including lidocaine should generally be avoided within 96 hours following administration of BUPivacaine. Because the toxic effects of these medications are additive, using them together requires caution and constant monitoring of vital signs and state of consciousness to prevent serious and potentially life-threatening side effects such as methemoglobinemia (a condition that can deprive tissues and organs of oxygen), central nervous system reactions (e.G., convulsions, unconsciousness, coma, respiratory arrest), and cardiovascular disorders (e.G., low blood pressure, heart block, irregular heart rhythm, cardiac arrest). Patients require immediate medical attention if they develop signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia such as pale, gray, or blue colored skin (cyanosis); headache; rapid heart rate; shortness of breath; lightheadedness; or fatigue. 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.
triamcinolone rotavirus vaccine
Applies to: MLK F2 (bupivacaine / lidocaine / triamcinolone) and Rotarix (rotavirus vaccine)
If you are currently being treated or have recently been treated with triamcinolone, you should let your doctor know before receiving rotavirus vaccine. Depending on the dose and length of time you have been on triamcinolone, you may be at risk for developing an infection from the vaccine or have a reduced response to the vaccine. In some situations, your doctor may want to delay vaccination to give your body time to recover from the effects of triamcinolone therapy. Conversely, if you have recently been vaccinated with rotavirus vaccine, your doctor may choose to postpone treatment with triamcinolone for a few weeks. 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
lidocaine food
Applies to: MLK F2 (bupivacaine / lidocaine / triamcinolone)
Grapefruit juice may increase the blood levels of lidocaine, which may increase the risk of side effects such as low blood pressure, slow heart rate, irregular heart rhythm, difficulty breathing and convulsions. Cigarette smoking may reduce the blood levels of lidocaine, which may make the medication less effective. It is best to avoid smoking during lidocaine therapy. Consuming cruciferous vegetables (e.G., broccoli, brussels sprouts) may also reduce the blood levels of lidocaine. Talk to a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns. 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.
