Take these together with care

We found interactions that usually need care rather than stopping a medicine. Your doctor may adjust a dose or check on you more often.

Rimactazid contains Rifampicin Theophylline

Moderate

Rifampicin speeds up how fast your body clears Asmaloc SR (Theophylline) from the blood. The same happens with barbiturates, carbamazepine, lithium, phenytoin and sulphinpyrazone. Because the medicine leaves the body faster, it may not work as well, so your doctor may need to increase the dose of Asmaloc SR.

What should I do?

These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.

Rifampicin + Isoniazid also interacts with ciprofloxacin, haloperidol, oral hypoglycemic agents (sulfonylureas), levothyroxine, methadone, narcotic analgesics, progestins, quinine, tacrolimus, theophylline and TCAs.

What do Major, Moderate and Minor mean?

Major

The combination can cause serious harm or stop a medicine from working. Usually avoided, or only used with close medical supervision.

Moderate

The combination may need care: a different dose, taking them at different times, or extra check-ups.

Minor

Little or no effect is expected. Usually nothing needs to change.

Duplicate

Two of your medicines contain the same ingredient, which can add up to a double dose.
