Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Imipenem, Cilastatin, Relebactam and Miracle Fruit. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Miracle Fruit Overview
Miracle fruit, also known as synsepalum dulcificum, is a small red berry native to West Africa. The active ingredient in the berry, called miraculin, temporarily alters the taste buds on the tongue, making sour and acidic foods taste sweet. Due to the effects of miraculin, it is sometimes used as a sugar substitute for people with diabetes or for those looking to reduce their sugar intake. The effects of miraculin can last for up to an hour after consumption. In addition to its use as a natural medicine, miracle berry is also commonly used as a novelty product (e.g., 'mberry miracle berry tablets'), promoted as a fun addition to parties and gatherings, where it is often used as part of a “flavor tripping” experience, where people consume sour and acidic foods, such as lemons or vinegar, and experience the change in taste sensation.
Imipenem, Cilastatin, Relebactam Overview
-
Imipenem, cilastatin, and relebactam injection is used to treat adults with certain serious urinary tract infections including kidney infections, and certain serious abdominal (stomach) infections when there are few or no other treatment options. It is also used to treat certain types of pneumonia that developed in adults who are on ventilators or who were already in a hospital. Imipenem is in a class of medications called carbapenem antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria. Cilastatin is in a class of medications called dehydropeptidase inhibitors. It works by helping imipenem stay active in your body for a longer period of time. Relebactam is in a class of medications called beta-lactamase inhibitors. It works by preventing bacteria from destroying imipenem.
-
Antibiotics such as imipenem, cilastatin, and relebactam injection will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Taking or using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
