Interaksi Mitotan dan Prednisolon

If shock, severe trauma or infection occurs or develops, temporarily discontinue LYSODREN and administer exogenous steroids.

Monitor for both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid insufficiency and replace systemic corticosteroids accordingly.

Due to increased steroid clearance and increase of steroid-binding protein, high-dose replacement therapy may be required and free cortisol and corticotropin (ACTH) should be monitored to adapt the systemic corticosteroids.

Hormone binding protein Mitotane has been shown to increase plasma levels of hormone binding proteins (e.g., sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG)).

Steroid replacement may be necessary.

CYP 3A4 inducers (e.g. barbiturates, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and rifampin): Drugs such as barbiturates, phenytoin, ephedrine, and rifampin, which induce hepatic microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme activity may enhance metabolism of prednisolone and require that the dosage of Orapred be increased.

CYP 3A4 inducers and inhibitors: May, respectively, increase or decrease clearance of corticosteroids, necessitating dose adjustment.
