Smiley face Smiley face

Avoid/Use Alternative

Smiley face Smiley face Depakote (divalproex sodium) + hydrocodone/acetaminophen (generic)

Avoid/Use Alternative


valproic acid + hydrocodone

avoid combo if antitussive use; otherwise monitor respiratory rate, decr. dose of one or both drugs, use lowest effective doses and shortest duration of concomitant tx: combo may incr. risk of profound CNS and respiratory depression, psychomotor impairment; may alter seizure control (additive effects; antagonistic effects, hydrocodone may decr. seizure threshold)

Monitor/Modify Tx


valproic acid + acetaminophen

consider acetaminophen dose adjustment: combo may incr. acetaminophen levels, risk of adverse effects (UGT inhibited)

Caution Advised

Smiley face Smiley face amoxicillin/clavulanate (generic) + Depakote (divalproex sodium)

Caution Advised


amoxicillin + valproic acid

caution advised if seizure disorder use, especially w/ high amoxicillin doses or concomitant renal impairment: combo may alter seizure control (antagonistic effects, amoxicillin may decr. seizure threshold)

Smiley face Smiley face Depakote (divalproex sodium) + Lexiscan (regadenoson)

Caution Advised


valproic acid + regadenoson

caution advised if seizure disorder use: combo may alter seizure control (antagonistic effects, regadenoson may decr. seizure threshold)

Additional Considerations

Smiley face Smiley face hydrocodone in hydrocodone/acetaminophen

consider prescribing an opioid overdose reversal agent, especially with concomitant CNS depressant use

benzhydrocodone (prodrug) rapidly converted to hydrocodone; similar interactions anticipated

add MAO inhibitor to Interaction Check if recent (14 days) use

avoid combo with beverages or products containing ethanol and some hydrocodone extended-release (ER) capsules; combo may incr. hydrocodone release rate, levels, risk of adverse effects, including life-threatening overdose, decr. duration of efficacy
