Drug Interactions. When given with CNS depressants (barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and opiods), more CNS depression is seen (increased sleepiness).
Drug Interactions means the occurrence when two or more drugs
Drug Interactions. There is a risk of hypertensive crisis when methylphenidate given with MAOIs; avoid methylphenidate for at least 2 weeks after stopping MAOIs. There is an increased risk of hypertension when methylphenidate is given with volatile liquid general anaesthetics. Methylphenidate antagonises hypotensive effect of adrenergic neurone blockers; may enhance the anticoagulant effect of coumarins. The effects of methylphenidate may be enhanced by alcohol and may inhibit the metabolism of SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) or tricyclic antidepressants. Serious adverse events have been reported with concomitant use of methylphenidate and clonidine (causality has not been established). It increases plasma concentration of phenytoin; may increase the plasma concentration of phenobarbital or primidone; may increase the side-effects of risperidone.

Drug Interactions. The pharmacodynamic effect of guanfacine can have an additive effect when taken with other products known to cause sedation, somnolence, syncope, hypotension or QT prolongation (e.g. alcohol, sedatives, hypnotics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, antipsychotics). The concomitant use of guanfacine with QT prolonging medicinal products is not recommended. Co-administration with moderate and strong CYP3A4/5 inhibitors e.g. ciprofloxacin, macrolide antibiotics (e,g, erythromycin, clarithromycin), grapefruit juice, fluconazole and other azole antifungals elevate plasma guanfacine concentrations and increases the risk of adverse reactions such as hypotension, bradycardia, and sedation (decrease in dose of guanfacine is recommended). When patients are taking guanfacine concomitantly with a CYP3A4 inducer e.g. rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbitone, some antiretrovirals, an increase in the dose of guanfacine within the recommended dose range is recommended. There is the possibility of additive CNS effects with valproic acid; consideration should be given to the monitoring of serum valproic acid concentrations. Adjustments in the dose of valproic acid and guanfacine may be necessary.

Drug Interactions. There is an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias when atomoxetine given with tricyclic antidepressants, amiodarone, antipsychotics that prolong the QT interval, disopyramide, parenteral erythromycin, mefloquine, methadone, moxifloxacin, sotalol; risk of ventricular arrhythmias with atomoxetine increased by diuretic induced hypokalaemia; atomoxetine should not be started until 2 weeks after stopping MAOIs, also MAOIs should not be started until at least 2 weeks after stopping atomoxetine ; possible increased risk of convulsions with antidepressants, buproprion, tramadol; metabolism of atomoxetine is possibly inhibited by fluoxetine, paroxetine; increased risk of cardiovascular side effects with intravenous salbutamol.
