Drug Interaction

Is it safe for me to take Lipozene while i'm on Prednisone? ## Hello, Ron! How are you? Lipozene is not an actually medication, it is an over the counter supplement, so it has not been checked for possible interactions with them. Prednisone can cause some pretty serious side effects itself, such as nausea, headache, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure and fluid retention, so it's likely best not to add anything you're unsure of, while taking it. Is there anything else I can help with?

Do allopurinol 100 mg,triamterene- hctz 37.5-25 mg ,and tremodol all interact ok with each other ## Hello, Dtfancy! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between these medications in the MedScape database, but it's always best to double check such information to be certain. Tramadol is listed by the FDA as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Triam/HCTZ is most commonly used to lower high blood pressure and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and dehydration. Allopurinol is used to treat gout and some types of kidney stones, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, fever and easy bruising. Is t...

does this medicine interfere in any way with Citalopram or Lisinopril? ## Yes, there are some problems with taking Ketorolac with the other medications. It can increase the potential toxicity of both the Citalopram and the Lisinopril and they will also increase the toxicity of it, so they all potentiate each other, which could be dangerous. Additionally, the Ketorolac reduces the effectiveness of the Lisinopril, so it may not work as well at controlling blood pressure and cardiac conditions. You can learn more Ketorolac details here and you can learn more Citalopram details here and you can learn more Lisinopril details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can these medications be taken together: Atenolol, Amlodipine, Ciprofloxacin and Acetaminophen? ## Have they all been prescribed for you by your doctor? If so, it is always best to follow their instructions. However, the FDA does warn that taking the Atenolol and Amlodipine together may result in more lowering of your blood pressure and heart rate than expected.

I am currently taking xarelto and xanax and I am trying to lose wait and wanted to know if it would be safe for me to take forskolin since I am taking the xarelto. ## Hello, Brenda! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed in the databases that I checked, however, I must add the caveat that natural supplements, such as Forskolin, are not actually studied for possible problems or interactions, so the safest thing to do would be to check with your doctor, before taking it, to be safe. The FDA warns that Xanax carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

Developed a sinus infection and was prescribed Sulfameth/TMP antibiotics and was told not to take HUMIRA until finished. Not sure how long to wait.. thhank you ## Did you ask your doctor? There aren't any interactions listed that I can find, so I'm not sure of the specifics. I'd assume it should be at least 24 hours after you finish the antibiotic, but you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be safe.

Can Amytryptilene be used with Aricept? ## Hi Fiona, My findings state that there are in fact unsafe interactions between these two drugs. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of... Applies to: Amitriptyline & Aricept (donepezil) "GENERALLY AVOID: Due to opposing effects, agents that possess anticholinergic activity (e.g., sedating antihistamines; antispasmodics; neuroleptics; phenothiazines; skeletal muscle relaxants; tricyclic antidepressants; class IA antiarrhythmics especially disopyramide; carbamazepine; cimetidine; ranitidine) may negate the already small pharmacologic benefits of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors in the treatment of dementia. These agents may also adversely affect elderly patients in general. Clinically significant mental status changes asso...

I take 4 mgs of suboxone everyday and it's been like 5 hours since I took my suboxone. Is it ok to take a gabapentin? ## The FDA recommends that they usually not be taken together, since they can both cause depression of the central nervous system, which could lead to severe health consequences and has been known to cause death, in some case. Have they both been prescribed for you? Are you on any other medications? ## Yes, Neurontin 10 yrs, Suboxone 4 months and not one problem. There's more to the story. She complaines about everything I do and take and refused to give them to me, yet another Walgreens did. She hates me. And now has cost me 60$ more than I usually paid. I am so frustrated and don't know where to go from here. ## Yes u can, gabapentin is not a controlled sub...

I'm taking aspirin (81mg daily), efficient (15mg), coreg (6.25mg daily), isosorbide mono er (30mg once daily), nifedipine er (30mg daily), 20mg lasix daily, 40mg lipitor (1 at night), metformin (250mg as needed), losartan potassium (100mg daily), potassium cl micro (10 mg once daily) and protonix ec (40 mg twice a day). Are any of these meds interacting with one another? ## There is always a possibility of interactions, but it really depends on you, according to NIH reports. Are you having any problems taking them all? Have you experienced any side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headaches, or diarrhea? Why is the Metformin an as needed medication? That is odd, it usually meant to be taken regular to control blood sugar levels, or treat conditions such as PCOD/PCOS. What conditi...

is it harmfull to take my prescribtion 1500mg depakote if i am high on speed." ## Speed is harmful in and of itself, without mixing it with anything else, so the logical conclusion would be that yes, there must be risks associated with it. That's the reason it's an illegal drug. Learn more Depakote details here. In reality, it would be best to stick with taking your prescribed medication and avoid the possible dangers. Are there any other comments or questions?

I'm 55 yrs young, female, and just started on humira for moderate UC (diagnosed in my 20's). Also, I've been on HRT (estradiol .75 mg) now for 5 1/2 years since having a hysterectomy. Is there a possibility of negative drug interaction with humira? If so, what might the be? I'll have to admit that I'm a little nervous anyway..... ## Hello, Sunny! How are you?

I take Wellbutrin and amphetamine. Is this ok with TBX free? Is there any reason I can't take these medications together? ## Has anyone used TBX Free while taking antidepressants? If so did you have problems? I'm worried about complications. ## I was unfortunately unable to locate any specific reference of a drug interaction between TBX and other medications, I think, primarily because its active ingredient (Cytisine) is a plant derived alkaloid that's non-existent in standard Western medical literature. That said, if it were me I'd probably try to get in touch with the prescribing doctor as well as a naturopathic doctor just to cover all bases. Please post back with any updates on how things work out. ## I ordered some TBX free online to stop smoking. When I received it...

I'm on Ativan for anxiety and i have taken 1 and a half mgs in the last 4-5 hours. Im really struggling with abdominal pain and bloating. Is it safe to take Gas X with my ativan? ## Hello, Aj! How are you? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between them, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure.

what drugs are compatable with soma ? I have been told not to take tramadol with it , What about lyrica? ## No one here is qualified to answer your question(s) with absolute certainty. Why not check with a Medical doctor? ## Hello, Cathy! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between Soma and Lyrica, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. The main issue is that Soma has an effect on serotonin levels in the brain, so it may be dangerous to combine it with other medications that also have an effect on it, such as Tramadol, because it creates the risk of Serotonin Syndrome, which could be fatal. Lyrica, however, does not affect serotonin, it works on different brain chemicals. Where there other drugs that you wanted you to check? ## Sorry to ...

can you take zicam and claritan ## zicam with klonopin and luvox? ## Can Zicam be safely used with rheumatoid arthritis drugs methotrexate and Enbrel? ## There are quite a few products that carry the Zicam name, so these questions actually can't be answered, without knowing the specific one that you're asking about. You can learn more Zicam details here. As you can see in the information at the link I've provided, it's actually a family of products, most of which used Zinc in them, but since they have different ingredients, more details would need to be known to see if it's safe to use with any given medication. If anyone would like to post with more details on the specific formulation, I'll gladly see what I can find for you. Are there any comments or questions?
