Syndros Disease Interactions

Seizures and seizure- like activity have been reported in patients using dronabinol. Caution is advised in patients with history of a seizure disorder, as dronabinol may lower seizure threshold. Therapy should be discontinued immediately in patients who develop seizures and medical attention should be sought immediately.

The use of some antiemetics such as dronabinol and nabilone has been associated with occasional hypotension, possible hypertension, syncope or tachycardia. Therapy with these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with cardiac disease.

Some antiemetics such as dronabinol and nabilone may precipitate or exacerbate psychotic symptoms or anxiety, depression, hallucinations or psychosis. Therapy with these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of psychiatric disorders, emotional instability, or depression, and particularly if they are elderly. Careful psychiatric monitoring is advised.

Some antiemetics as dronabinol and nabilone have a significant potential for abuse. Therapy with these drugs should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of substance abuse. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of dronabinol to these patients.
