Posso tomar Amitriptilina e Bisulfato de Quinina BP juntos?

Por que isso acontece

Both amitriptyline and quinine can affect the electrical activity of the heart. When used together, they have an 'additive effect', meaning they both slow down the heart's electrical recharging system at the same time, making a dangerous heart rhythm more likely.

You must speak to your doctor before taking these two medicines together. They may want to perform an ECG (heart trace) to check your heart rhythm or consider an alternative treatment for your leg cramps or pain. Seek immediate medical help if you experience a very fast or pounding heartbeat, severe dizziness, or fainting while taking these medications.

Distúrbios do ritmo cardíaco (por exemplo, síndrome do QT longo)

Quinine can cause serious, potentially fatal heart rhythm problems. You must not take this if you have a history of heart rhythm issues or are taking other medicines that affect your heart rate.

Suicidal thoughts and depression

This medicine can increase thoughts of self-harm or suicide, particularly in the first few weeks of treatment or when the dose is changed. Seek immediate medical help if your mood worsens or you have distressing thoughts.

Tinnitus or hearing loss

Stop taking this medicine immediately and contact your doctor if you experience ringing in the ears (tinnitus), hearing loss, or dizziness, as these can be signs of quinine toxicity.

Álcool

Beber álcool enquanto toma amitriptilina pode fazer você se sentir muito sonolento e instável ao caminhar. É melhor evitar o álcool, especialmente quando você começa o tratamento ou se a sua dose for aumentada.

Suco de toranja

Grapefruit juice can increase the level of quinine in your blood, which may increase the risk of side effects. It is best to avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.
