More Detail About Lipofen Drug Interactions
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when
Lipofen is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Bile Acid Sequestrants
Bile acid sequestrants (also known as bile acid resins) can bind to Lipofen in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed. In order to avoid this interaction, be sure to take Lipofen at least one hour before or four to six hours after taking a bile acid sequestrant.
Cyclosporine
Taking cyclosporine and Lipofen together may increase the risk for kidney problems. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your progress more closely. This combination of medications should be used only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
Statins
Taking Lipofen with a
statin may increase the risk of serious problems, including serious breakdown of muscle (rhabdomyolysis) or kidney failure. In many cases, though, the benefits of taking Lipofen with a statin will outweigh the possible risks. Discuss these risks and benefits for your particular situation with your healthcare provider.
Warfarin
Lipofen can potentially interact with
warfarin, possibly increasing the risk of bleeding. Your healthcare provider may need to monitor you more often and adjust your
warfarin dosage as necessary.
There are several drugs that can interact with Lipofen. It is possible that not all Lipofen drug interactions were discussed in this article. Therefore, you should talk with your doctor about any specific drug interactions that may apply to you.
