Your healthcare professionals (e.g., doctor or pharmacist) may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for it. Do not start, stop or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.

This drug should not be used with the following medications because very serious interactions may occur:

• narcotic antagonists (e.g., naltrexone, naloxone)
• MAO inhibitors (e.g., furazolidone, isocarboxazid, linezolid, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine)

Avoid taking MAO inhibitors within 2 weeks before, during, and after treatment with this medication. In some cases a serious (possibly fatal) drug interaction may occur.

If you are currently using any of these medications listed above, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting this medication.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of:

• anticholinergics (e.g., belladonna alkaloids, benztropine)
• other narcotic medications (e.g., narcotic agonists/antagonists such as butorphanol/nalbuphine)
• other decongestants/stimulants (e.g., phenylephrine, ephedra/ma huang)
• digoxin
• migraine medications (e.g., ergotamine)
• certain medications to treat high blood pressure (e.g., beta blockers such as propranolol, mecamylamine, guanethidine, methyldopa, reserpine)
• tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., imipramine, nortriptyline)
• quinidine
• cimetidine

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take drugs that cause drowsiness such as: certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine), anti-seizure drugs (e.g., carbamazepine), medicine for sleep/anxiety (e.g., alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., hydrocodone), psychiatric medicines (e.g., chlorpromazine, risperidone, amitriptyline, trazodone).

Check the labels on all your medicines (e.g., allergy, cough-and-cold products, diet aids) because they may contain decongestants, stimulants or drowsiness-causing ingredients. Ask your pharmacist about the safe use of those products.
