Gabitril Oral Interactions
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.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of
all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use,
especially:
- a certain drug for stopping smoking (bupropion)
- certain anti-seizure drugs (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine,
phenobarbital, primidone)
- certain recreational/street drugs such as methamphetamine
("speed") or MDMA ("ecstasy")
Certain medications increase your chances of having a seizure
and may make it appear that tiagabine and your other anti-seizure
medications are not working. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you
are taking other drugs which might increase seizure risk when
combined with tiagabine such as bupropion, isoniazid, antipsychotic
medications (e.g., phenothiazines such as chlorpromazine),
stimulants (e.g., methylphenidate, dextroamphetamines) or
alcohol.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take drugs that cause
drowsiness such as certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine),
anti-anxiety drugs (e.g., diazepam), anti-seizure drugs (e.g.,
gabapentin, valproic acid), medicine for sleep (e.g., zolpidem,
temazepam), narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine, fentanyl),
tranquilizers, or certain antidepressants (e.g., tricyclics such as
imipramine or amitriptyline).
Check the labels on all your medicines (e.g., cough-and-cold
products) because they may contain drowsiness-causing ingredients.
Ask your pharmacist about the safe use of those products.
This document does not contain all possible interactions.
Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or
pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your
medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and
pharmacist.
