रिफैम्पिसिन और थियोफाइलिन का इंटरैक्शन

Quinine Prevention or Management : Avoid concomitant use Decrease AUC by 75%-85% Telithromycin Decrease AUC by 86% Theophylline Decrease exposure by 20%-40% Effect of Other Drugs on Rifampin Concomitant antacid administration may reduce the absorption of rifampin.

Cessation of Smoking: Drug Interactions: Adding a drug that inhibits theophylline metabolism (e.g., cimetidine, erythromycin, tacrine) or stopping a concurrently administered drug that enhances theophylline metabolism (e.g., carbamazepine, rifampin).

Conversely, if theophylline is being initiated in a patient who is already taking a drug that enhances theophylline clearance (e.g., rifampin), the dose of theophylline required to achieve a therapeutic serum theophylline concentration will be larger.

Rifampin Increases theophylline clearance by increasing cytochrome P450 1A2 and 3A3 activity.
