Ifosfamide may cause central nervous system side effects such as drowsiness, confusion, hallucinations, blurred vision, abnormal behavior, abnormal muscle movements, seizures, and even coma in some cases. Combining it with other medications that can also affect the nervous system such as ethanol may increase the risk and/or severity of these effects. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Also avoid driving, operating machinery, or engaging in potentially hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until you know how the medications affect you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
