HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors (Statins)
The use of
Triglide with a
statin medication should generally be avoided due to the increased risk of kidney and muscle problems. This combination should be used only if the benefit of further
lowering cholesterol levels outweighs the risk.
Cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune)
Cyclosporine can make it more difficult for Triglide to be eliminated from the body. If you are taking both Triglide and cyclosporine, you may be at an increased risk of developing kidney problems (especially if you have kidney disease). Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your progress more closely and make any necessary dosing adjustments.
Bile Acid Sequestrants (Prevalite, Questran, Questran Light, LoCholest, Colestid, WelChol)
Bile acid sequestrants can bind to Triglide in the digestive tract and decrease its absorption into the body. Triglide should be taken at least one hour before or four to six hours after a bile acid sequestrant has been given to avoid this drug interaction.
