Kratom - Bazedoxifene Acetate, Conjugated Estrogens Interaction Details

Interaction Details

Bazedoxifene Acetate, Conjugated Estrogens is classified as belonging to the following category: Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, kratom might increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that kratom extract inhibits CYP3A4 enzyme activity. Additionally, there is one case report of a 27-year-old male who died from neuroleptic malignant-like symptoms after concomitant use of kratom and quetiapine, a CYP3A4 substrate. Although it did not appear that the patient had consumed large quantities of quetiapine, postmortem plasma levels were in the lethal range, indicating possible inhibition of CYP3A4 by kratom.

Interaction Rating

Moderate

Likelihood of Occurrence

Possible

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists

Bazedoxifene Acetate, Conjugated Estrogens Overview

Estrogen and bazedoxifene tablets are used to treat hot flashes (sudden feelings of warmth, especially in the face, neck, and chest) in women who are experiencing menopause (stage of life when menstrual periods become less frequent and stop and women may experience other symptoms and body changes). Estrogen and bazedoxifene tablets are also used to prevent osteoporosis (condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily) in women who have undergone menopause. Estrogen is in a class of medications called hormones and bazedoxifene is in a class of medications called estrogen agonist–antagonists. Estrogen works by replacing estrogen that is normally produced by the body. Bazedoxifene is used to block the action of estrogen on the lining of the uterus, decreasing the risk of overgrowth that may lead to cancer.
