Sizaject Fosphenytoin Sodium Chloramphenicol
ModerateChloramphenicol can raise the level of phenytoin in your blood. Fosphenytoin turns into phenytoin inside the body, so this matters when the two are taken together. Other medicines that can do the same include acute alcohol intake, amiodarone, chlordiazepoxide, cimetidine, diazepam, dicumarol, disulfiram, estrogens, ethosuximide, fluoxetine, H2-antagonists, halothane, isoniazid, methylphenidate, phenothiazines, phenylbutazone, salicylates, succinimides, sulfonamides, tolbutamide and trazodone.
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.
