An Overview of Granisetron Transdermal Drug Interactions
Granisetron transdermal (
Sancuso®) can potentially interact with a few other medications. Some of these medicines that might lead to interactions include:
- Ketoconazole (Nizoral®)
- Phenobarbital (Luminal®).
Drug Interactions Explained
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when
granisetron transdermal is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Ketoconazole (Nizoral)
Ketoconazole may decrease the ability of your liver to metabolize granisetron transdermal, which could increase the level of granisetron transdermal in your blood. This could increase your risk of granisetron transdermal side effects. The significance of this interaction is not yet known. Talk to your healthcare provider before using these medications together.
Phenobarbital (Luminal)
Studies have shown that phenobarbital can decrease the level of granisetron (the active ingredient in granisetron transdermal), perhaps making it less effective. Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your
granisetron transdermal dosage, although this may not be necessary.
