6. Microstat drug interactions


Microstat interacts with some of the following drugs:
Phenobarbital, rifampin, phenytoin, and fosphenytoin (a precursor to phenytoin), which can accelerate the elimination of tinidazole, reducing tinidazole plasma concentrations. Cimetidine and ketoconazole, which may prolong the half-life and decrease the plasma clearance of tinidazole, increase the plasma concentration of tinidazole. Phenobarbital reduces the effect of Tinidazole. Oral anticoagulants: Severe bleeding with oral miconazole, oral gel due to inhibition of warfarin metabolism and increased circulating free form in the blood. There is a possibility of eczema due to allergic contact. This occurs most often in cases of prolonged treatment. Eczema can spread to areas far from treated areas. For neomycin, cross-allergenicity with aminoside antibiotics is possible.
