celticgirl (and others),
I'm no pharmacy tech, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I'm attaching something I found when I was recently prescribed omep (I am taking Rilutek). Just FYI.
Also, when being discharged from the hospital after my DPS procedure, I saw they added "Acid reflux disease" to my record. News to me!
Effect of Other Drugs on RILUTEK Metabolism: In vitro studies using human liver
microsomal preparations suggest that CYP 1A2 is the principal isozyme involved in the initial
oxidative metabolism of RILUTEK, and, therefore, potential interactions may occur when
RILUTEK is given concurrently with agents that affect CYP 1A2 activity. Potential inhibitors of
CYP 1A2 (e.g., caffeine, phenacetin, theophylline, amitriptyline, and quinolones) could decrease
the rate of RILUTEK elimination, while inducers of CYP 1A2 (e.g., cigarette smoke, charcoalbroiled
food, rifampicin, and omeprazole) could increase the rate of RILUTEK elimination.
