Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

isoniazid yohimbine

Applies to: isoniazid and Erex (yohimbine)

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Theoretically, yohimbine may precipitate severe hypertensive reactions and hyperpyrexia in patients treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Yohimbine has been shown to induce the release of norepinephrine in patients with essential hypertension. This action could produce a synergistic sympathomimetic effect with MAOIs, which enhance norepinephrine storage in adrenergic neurons.

MANAGEMENT: While clinical data are lacking, yohimbine should preferably not be used with MAOIs or other agents that possess MAOI activity (e.g., furazolidone, linezolid, procarbazine). At least 14 days should elapse between discontinuation of MAOI therapy and initiation of treatment with yohimbine.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

isoniazid food

Applies to: isoniazid

Food decreases the levels of isoniazid in your body. Take isoniazid on an empty stomach at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. If nausea occurs, ask your doctor if you can take isoniazid with food. Avoid alcohol while taking isoniazid. Alcohol may increase the risk of damage to the liver during isoniazid treatment. Alcohol can also cause isoniazid side effects to get worse. Contact your doctor if you experience flushing, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
