DRUG INTERACTIONS
Drugs affecting pituitary or adrenocortical function, including all corticosteroid therapy, must be discontinued prior to and during testing with Metopirone (metyrapone) .

Metopirone (metyrapone) inhibits the glucuronidation of acetaminophen and could possibly potentiate acetaminophen toxicity.
