When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug interaction with food or lifestyle.

Consumer:

HYDROXYprogesterone may reduce the blood levels and effects of caffeine. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these medications. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

MONITOR: Coadministration with hydroxyprogesterone may decrease the plasma concentrations of drugs that are metabolized by CYP450 1A2, 2A6, and/or 2B6. An in vitro study using human liver microsomes and CYP isoform-selective substrates indicated that hydroxyprogesterone caproate can increase the metabolic rate of CYP450 1A2, 2A6, and 2B6 by approximately 80%, 150%, and 80%, respectively. The clinical significance has not been determined.

MANAGEMENT: Pharmacologic effects and/or serum concentrations of the coadministered drug should be monitored more closely whenever hydroxyprogesterone is added to or withdrawn from therapy, and the dosage adjusted if an interaction is suspected.
