Interactions from the label

Moderate interactions (5)

  • CarbamazepineanticonvulsantModerate

    Reciprocal interactions may occur with concomitant use of fomepizole and drugs that increase or inhibit the cytochrome P450 system (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine, cimetidine, ketoconazole), though this has not been studied. (Fomepizole label, Drug interactions)

  • CimetidineH2 blockerModerate

  • Ketoconazoleazole antifungalModerate
