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.
