Caffeine enhances the action of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO).
Caffeine accelerates the absorption of ergotamine.
Mexiletine - reduces caffeine withdrawal to 50%; nicotine - Increases the speed of caffeine removal.
Caffeine reduces absorption of calcium preparations in the digestive tract, reduces the effect of narcotic and hypnotic drugs, increases the excretion of lithium drugs with urine; accelerates absorption and enhances the action of cardiac glycosides, increases their toxicity.
Joint use of caffeine with beta-blockers can lead to mutual suppression of therapeutic effects; with adrenergic bronchodilating drugs - to additional stimulation of the CNS, and other additive toxic effects.
Caffeine can reduce the clearance of theophylline and, possibly, other xanthines, increasing the possibility of additive pharmacodynamic and toxic effects.
With the joint use of caffeine and barbiturates, primidone, anticonvulsant drugs (hydantoin derivatives, especially phenytoin) it is possible to increase metabolism and increase caffeine clearance; cimetidine, oral contraceptive drugs, disulfiram, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin - a decrease in the metabolism of caffeine in the liver (slowing its elimination and increasing blood concentrations).
Paracetamol reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric medicines (LS).
Under the influence of paracetamol, the half-life of chloramphenicol increases five-fold.
With long-term admission paracetamol can enhance the effect of anticoagulants (derivatives of dicumarin).
Simultaneous reception of paracetamol and ethanol increases the risk of hepatotoxic effects and acute pancreatitis. Barbiturates, phenytoin, ethanol, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants and other stimulators of microsomal oxidation, increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites, causing the possibility of the development of severe intoxication with small overdoses. Inhibitors of microsomal oxidation (cimetidine) reduce the risk of hepatotoxic effects. Metoclopramide and domperidone increase, and colestramine reduces absorption.
Long-term combined use of paracetamol increases the risk of developing "analgesic" nephropathy and renal papillary necrosis, the onset of the terminal stage of renal failure.
Simultaneous long-term administration of paracetamol in high doses and salicylates increases the risk of developing kidney or bladder cancer.
