If you are currently using the medication 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:
- adenosine
- anti-seizure drugs (e.g., carbamazepine)
- beta agonists (e.g., albuterol)
- isoniazid
- lithium
- other medications for pain (e.g., codeine, nalbuphine)
- drugs affecting liver enzymes that remove this medication
from your body (such as macrolide antibiotics including
erythromycin, cimetidine, disulfiram, fluvoxamine, MAO inhibitors
including furazolidone, isocarboxazid, linezolid, moclobemide,
phenelzine, procarbazine, rasagiline, selegiline,
tranylcypromine)

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take drugs that cause
drowsiness such as: certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine),
medicine for sleep or anxiety (e.g., alprazolam, diazepam,
zolpidem), muscle relaxants, psychiatric medicines (e.g.,
risperidone, amitriptyline, trazodone).
Check the labels on all your medicines (e.g., cough-and-cold
products) because they may contain caffeine or drowsiness-causing
ingredients. Also keep in mind that certain beverages (e.g.,
coffee, colas, tea) contain caffeine. Ask your pharmacist about
using those products safely.
Acetaminophen is an ingredient in many nonprescription products
and in some combination prescription medications. Read the labels
carefully before taking other pain relievers, fever reducers, or
cold products to see if they also contain acetaminophen. Consult
your pharmacist if you are uncertain whether your other
prescription or nonprescription products contain acetaminophen.
