Posso tomar Sertralina e Tizanidina juntos?

You should only take sertralina e tizanidine together if your doctor has specifically told you it’s okay to do so.

Combining them can cause your blood pressure to drop too low and increases the risk of drowsiness and dizziness.

Taking them together can also increase the risk of síndrome serotoninérgica.

Por que isso acontece

Both drugs can lower blood pressure and cause drowsiness (additive effect). Additionally, sertraline can slightly interfere with how the liver breaks down tizanidine, and both drugs influence serotonin levels in the brain.

You may be experiencing an interaction between sertraline and tizanidine if:

• You feel drowsy or dizzy.

• Feel like you might faint or do faint.

• Feel unusually sleepy.

• Have very low blood pressure.

• Feel confused or have difficulty concentrating.

• Speak to your doctor before taking these together.

• If you are already taking both, do not stop taking them suddenly.

• Watch out for extreme dizziness, fainting, confusion, or shivering. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose.

Transtornos de depressão e ansiedade

Você pode experimentar um aumento nos pensamentos suicidas ou na vontade de se machucar ao iniciar o uso de sertralina ou ao alterar a dose. Isso é mais comum em jovens adultos menores de 25 anos. Entre em contato com seu médico ou vá ao hospital imediatamente se notar alguma mudança no seu humor ou comportamento.

Síndrome da Serotonina

Taking these medicines together increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Seek urgent medical care if you experience agitation, hallucinations, fast heartbeat, or severe muscle stiffness.

Distúrbios de sangramento

A sertralina pode aumentar o risco de sangramento, especialmente no estômago. Use com cautela se estiver tomando medicamentos anticoagulantes (como varfarina) ou analgésicos anti-inflamatórios (como ibuprofeno ou aspirina), pois isso aumenta significativamente o risco de sangramento grave.

Pressão arterial baixa (Hipotensão)

Tizanidine can cause a significant drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or fainting, especially when moving from sitting to standing. This risk is much higher if taken with certain blood pressure medicines or ciprofloxacin.

Problemas no fígado

Tizanidine can cause serious liver damage. You will need regular blood tests to check your liver function while taking this medicine.

Interrompendo o tratamento repentinamente

Do not stop taking tizanidine suddenly. Doing so can cause a rapid increase in heart rate and dangerously high blood pressure. Your dose must be reduced gradually.

Álcool

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking these medicines. Combining alcohol with sertraline or tizanidine can significantly increase drowsiness, dizziness, and the risk of falls. It may also impair your coordination and judgement.

Suco de toranja

Você deve evitar consumir grandes quantidades de suco de toranja enquanto estiver tomando sertralina. A toranja pode aumentar o nível de sertralina no seu sangue, o que pode aumentar o risco de efeitos colaterais.

Cafeína (Café, Chá, Bebidas Energéticas)

You should avoid or strictly limit caffeine intake. Caffeine can significantly increase the levels of tizanidine in your body, which can lead to severe side effects such as very low blood pressure, a slow heart rate, or extreme drowsiness.

Alimentação (Geral)

You should choose to take tizanidine either always with food or always without food. Switching between the two can change how much medicine your body absorbs, which may make the medicine less effective or increase side effects.
