Can I take Fluanxol and Pregabalin together?

Por qué sucede esto

Both medicines work by slowing down activity in the central nervous system (the brain and nerves). When used together, their sedative effects are added together (an additive effect), making the side effects much stronger than if you took either medicine alone.

Use this combination with caution. Avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing tasks that require you to be alert until you know how these medicines affect you. Do not drink alcohol while taking these medicines, as it will make the sleepiness much worse. If you feel extremely drowsy or have difficulty breathing, contact your doctor immediately.

Trastornos de salud mental

La pregabalina puede causar pensamientos suicidas o ganas de autolesionarse. Debe buscar ayuda médica de inmediato si su estado de ánimo cambia o tiene pensamientos de hacerse daño.

Embarazo

El pregabalina no debe usarse durante el embarazo a menos que un especialista lo aconseje específicamente, ya que puede aumentar el riesgo de defectos de nacimiento. Se debe utilizar un método anticonceptivo eficaz durante el tratamiento.

enfermedad de Parkinson

Fluanxol can significantly worsen the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and should generally be avoided.

Trastornos del ritmo cardíaco (Síndrome de QT largo)

Fluanxol can affect your heart rhythm. You must tell your doctor if you have a history of heart rhythm problems or are taking other medicines that affect the heart.

History of drug or alcohol misuse

Pregabalin has a high risk of dependence and addiction. You should only take it exactly as prescribed and be aware that it can be misused.

Driving and operating machinery

Both medicines can cause significant drowsiness and blurred vision. Do not drive or use tools until you are certain you are not affected, as your reaction speeds will be reduced.

Depresión respiratoria

El pregabalina puede causar problemas respiratorios graves, especialmente si ya tienes una enfermedad pulmonar o si lo tomas con otros medicamentos que causan somnolencia o contienen opioides.

Alcohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking these medicines. Both Fluanxol and pregabalin cause drowsiness and dizziness; alcohol will significantly increase these effects, making you more likely to have an accident or fall. Combining alcohol with Fluanxol also increases the risk of liver damage. They can also increase the risk of breathing problems.

Cafeína (Café, Té, Bebidas Energéticas)

Caffeine can interfere with how Fluanxol works. High amounts of caffeine may reduce the effectiveness of the medicine or worsen symptoms of restlessness and anxiety. Try to keep your caffeine intake consistent and moderate.
