hmmm.....the more I study this list of drug interaction, the more puzzled i am. it's almost like as if feralstat was initially meant to be marketed to humans, but later, the doc changed his mind. indinavir is another good example --- it's a drug used for treating HIV and AIDS.

aww, wish i'm back in college and could have a brain-storming session with friends. this is interesting to study.

(words in blue below are mine, in layman terms)

Drug Interaction:
.: carbamazepine - a synthetic drug used for treating convulsions
.: corticosteroids (i.e., prednisone) - a synthetic drug used to treat brain tumor and skin diseases
.: dofetilide - a drug used to treat sinus
.: fosphenytoin - a drug used to treat epilepsy
.: medicines used to treat diabetes
Updated:
.: indinavir - a drug used for treating HIV and AIDS
.: phenobarbital - another drug for treating convulsions
.: phenytoin - another drug for treating epilepsy
.: primidone - another anticonvulsant drug
.: rifampin - this I do not know
.: rifabutin - antibiotic for treating TB
.: rifapentine - another antibiotic for treating TB
.: warfarin - anticoagulant for thinning blood, or, rat poison

hmmm.....let me go read up more.....wish I knew the chemicals that goes into feralstat.....easier to work that way instead of backwards like what I'm doing now....finding which drugs interact with those above, and eliminating them one by one.

I am sure I'm missing something important by maybe focusing on the wrong thing here......
