Taking other medicines:
Tricyclic antidepressants, neuroleptics of phenothiazine derivatives group and clozapine and olanzapine, antihistamines of 1st generation, amantadine, pethidine and disopyramide may potentiate the cholinolytic effects of the preparation.

Metamizole sodium monohydrate contained in the product, like aminophenazone can displace oral anticoagulants, oral antidiabetics, phenytoin and sulfonamides from the protein binding.
Metamizole sodium monohydrate increases the metabolism of cyclosporine, which leads to a reduction of its concentration in the blood serum.
The drug should not be used concomitantly with other drugs from the group of pyrazolone derivatives.

Tell your doctor about all the recently taken drugs, even those that are obtained without a prescription.
