Drug and food interactions
dextromethorphan food
Applies to: Cepastat Sore Throat & Cough (benzocaine / dextromethorphan / menthol topical)
Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of dextromethorphan such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with dextromethorphan. Do not use more than the recommended dose of dextromethorphan, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
Prussian blue food
Applies to: Radiogardase (prussian blue)
Prussian blue should be taken with food or just after eating. Food increases the effectiveness of Prussian blue in treating cesium and thallium poisoning by stimulating bile secretion. Prussian blue binds cesium and thallium isotopes when they are excreted in the bile. If you are unable to swallow the capsules, the content of the capsules may be mixed with bland food or liquids and consumed. This may result in blue discoloration of the mouth and teeth. Prussian blue may also bind other medications that you take by mouth. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use these medications together. Contact your doctor if your condition changes. 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.
