Yes. Foundayo can interact with some medicines, and some medicines can change the amount of Foundayo in your body. Your prescriber needs a complete and accurate list of everything you take, including prescribed medicines, over-the-counter treatments and herbal products.
This is particularly important if you take:
- insulin or a sulfonylurea (e.g. gliclazide) for diabetes,, because the risk of low blood sugar may increase
- clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, ritonavir or telaprevir
- carbamazepine, bosentan, efavirenz, rifampicin, phenytoin or St John's wort
- simvastatin or rosuvastatin
- topotecan
- oral hormonal contraception
Some interactions require a dose adjustment, additional monitoring or a different treatment. Strong enzyme-inducing medicines, including rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine and St John's wort, may reduce Foundayo's effectiveness and may make it unsuitable.
Our online consultation will assess whether Foundayo is suitable alongside your current medicines.
