Interactions between your drugs
potassium citrate carbinoxamine
Applies to: potassium acetate / potassium bicarbonate / potassium citrate and Cordron-D (carbinoxamine / pseudoephedrine)
The following interaction applies only if you are taking potassium in a solid formulation (i.E., tablet or capsule swallowed whole):
Talk to your doctor before using potassium oral tablets or capsules together with carbinoxamine. Depending on the dose of carbinoxamine and your overall physical health, combining these medications may increase the irritant effects of potassium on your stomach and upper intestine. This can rarely result in ulcers, bleeding, and other gastrointestinal injury. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe abdominal pain, bloating, sudden dizziness or lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting (especially with blood), loss of appetite, and/or black, tarry stools during treatment with these medications. Alternatively, a liquid formulation of potassium may be considered when used in combination with carbinoxamine. 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.
pseudoephedrine potassium citrate
Applies to: Cordron-D (carbinoxamine / pseudoephedrine) and potassium acetate / potassium bicarbonate / potassium citrate
Using pseudoephedrine together with potassium citrate may increase the effects of pseudoephedrine. Contact your doctor if you experience tremor, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, or nervousness. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test 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.
Drug and food interactions
carbinoxamine food
Applies to: Cordron-D (carbinoxamine / pseudoephedrine)
Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of carbinoxamine 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 carbinoxamine. Do not use more than the recommended dose of carbinoxamine, 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.
pseudoephedrine food
Applies to: Cordron-D (carbinoxamine / pseudoephedrine)
Both pseudoephedrine and caffeine can increase blood pressure and heart rate, and combining them may enhance these effects. Talk to your doctor before using these medications, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure or heart disease. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.
