Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines caffeine, indomethacin, and prochlorperazine in a rectal suppository. Each of these active ingredients can interact with other medications, potentially altering their effects or increasing the risk of adverse reactions. It's important for patients and prescribers to be aware of these potential interactions.

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It can interact with medications that also stimulate the nervous system, potentially leading to overstimulation and side effects like nervousness, insomnia, and rapid heartbeat. These include medications like pseudoephedrine, certain antidepressants, and some asthma medications. Caffeine can also interact with certain antibiotics and antifungal medications, potentially increasing the amount of caffeine in the bloodstream and intensifying its effects.

Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain and inflammation. It can interact with other NSAIDs, increasing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects like stomach ulcers and bleeding. Indomethacin can also interact with blood thinners, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding. Additionally, it can interact with certain blood pressure medications, potentially reducing their effectiveness.

Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic and antipsychotic medication. It can interact with other medications that depress the central nervous system, potentially leading to increased sedation and respiratory depression. These include opioids, benzodiazepines, and alcohol. Prochlorperazine can also interact with certain antihypertensive medications, potentially causing a drop in blood pressure. Additionally, it can interact with certain medications used to treat Parkinson's disease, potentially worsening symptoms.

This formulation is used to treat a variety of conditions. Caffeine is used to increase alertness and reduce fatigue. Indomethacin is used to reduce pain and inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis, gout, and bursitis. Prochlorperazine is used to control severe nausea and vomiting, and to treat schizophrenia and anxiety.

It's important for patients and prescribers to discuss all medications, supplements, and over-the-counter products being used before starting this formulation. This can help to identify potential interactions and develop a plan to manage them.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Caffeine 75 mg/Indomethacin 25 mg/Prochlorperazine 4 mg Rectal Suppository is a unique formulation designed to deliver medication directly into the bloodstream via the rectal route. This method of administration bypasses the digestive system, allowing for rapid absorption and onset of action. The suppository is a solid dosage form that is inserted into the rectum, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication.

Caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant, works by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, thereby reducing fatigue and drowsiness. It also enhances the analgesic effect of other drugs, making it a useful component in this formulation.

Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By inhibiting their production, indomethacin helps to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.

Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic and antipsychotic medication. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps to control nausea and vomiting. It also has a calming effect, which can be beneficial in managing symptoms of certain mental health conditions.

This combination of medications can be used to treat a variety of conditions. The caffeine and indomethacin can work together to manage pain and inflammation, while the prochlorperazine can help control any associated nausea or vomiting. This makes the suppository particularly useful in conditions such as migraines, where all these symptoms may be present.

It's important to note that this formulation should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider, as it contains potent medications that can have side effects. Always use the suppository as directed, and reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.

If you have any questions about this formulation, or if you're a prescriber interested in using it for your patients, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

The combination rectal suppository containing Caffeine, Indomethacin, and Prochlorperazine is primarily used to treat multiple symptoms linked with migraines, cluster headaches, tension headaches, and other headache disorders. It provides an alternative route of administration for patients who have difficulty swallowing oral medications or are experiencing vomiting. While its primary uses are for headache treatment, there are additional applications for this formulation.

For patients with severe nausea and vomiting, from conditions such as severe gastroparesis and cyclic vomiting syndrome, this medication can provide significant relief. Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic, which helps to control vomiting and nausea. Indomethacin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), provides general analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, which can assist in treating pain from various conditions and reducing inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders.

The caffeine component aids in the absorption of other medications, and it also helps to constrict blood vessels in the brain, which can reduce pain. Additionally, the caffeine may be used for its mild stimulating effects to combat fatigue and improve focus, which is helpful for conditions such as narcolepsy and chronic fatigue syndrome. However, caffeine's stimulant effect must be used with caution, as this can lead to potential side effects such as jitteriness and sleep disturbances.

While the combination of these medications in a rectal suppository can be greatly beneficial for many patients, it's important to remember that each patient's individual healthcare needs can vary. It is thus pivotal to have open communication with your healthcare provider about all potential uses, side effects, and interactions. If you have any questions about this medication or any others, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our skilled compounding pharmacists can provide the necessary guidance and help tailor medications to fit each patient's unique needs.
