Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

rifAMPin dihydrocodeine

Applies to: rifampin and aspirin / caffeine / dihydrocodeine

RifAMPin may reduce the blood levels of dihydrocodeine, which may make dihydrocodeine less effective in treating your condition. Additionally, if you have been receiving treatment with dihydrocodeine, adding rifAMPin may cause you to experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as excessive sweating, chills, flushing, restlessness, irritability, anxiety, tremor, rapid heartbeat and nausea. On the other hand, if you have been receiving both medications, suddenly discontinuing rifAMPin may increase the blood levels of dihydrocodeine, which could increase or prolong its adverse 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. 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.

aspirin caffeine

Applies to: aspirin / caffeine / dihydrocodeine and aspirin / caffeine / dihydrocodeine

Information for this minor interaction is available on the professional version.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

rifAMPin food

Applies to: rifampin

Food can decrease the levels of rifAMPin in your body. Taking rifAMPin on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal) will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking rifAMPin because alcohol use may increase the risk of damage to your liver. It is important to seek immediate medical care if you experience any severe side effects or symptoms of liver damage such as fever, chills, joint pain or swelling, unusual bleeding or bruising, skin rash, itching, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark colored urine, and/or yellowing of the skin or eyes. 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.

Moderate

aspirin food

Applies to: aspirin / caffeine / dihydrocodeine

Ask your doctor before using aspirin together with ethanol (alcohol). Do not drink alcohol while taking aspirin. Alcohol can increase your risk of stomach bleeding caused by aspirin. Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of bleeding in your stomach or intestines. This includes black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. 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.
