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.

Delipid Gemfibrozil Loperamide + Simethicone

Moderate

Gemfibrozil blocks CYP2C8, an enzyme in the liver that helps clear loperamide from the body. In the same study, taking gemfibrozil raised the loperamide level in the blood by about 2 fold. When itraconazole and gemfibrozil were taken together, the peak loperamide level rose 4 fold. The total amount of loperamide in the blood over time rose 13 fold. Even with these rises, there were no effects on the central nervous system (CNS). Tests of mental and physical response showed no change. These included how drowsy people said they felt and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test.

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.

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.
