Drug Interactions between Duraxin and skin test antigens, multiple
This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- Duraxin (acetaminophen/phenyltoloxamine/salicylamide)
- skin test antigens, multiple
Interactions between your drugs
skin test antigens, multiple phenyltoloxamine
Applies to: skin test antigens, multiple and Duraxin (acetaminophen / phenyltoloxamine / salicylamide)
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Antihistamines may diminish the response to diagnostic skin test antigens. Falsely insignificant or false-negative results may occur in such patients.
MANAGEMENT: Antihistamines should be discontinued approximately 2 to 4 days prior to skin testing procedures.

Drug and food interactions
acetaminophen food
Applies to: Duraxin (acetaminophen / phenyltoloxamine / salicylamide)
GENERALLY AVOID: Chronic, excessive consumption of alcohol may increase the risk of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity, which has included rare cases of fatal hepatitis and frank hepatic failure requiring liver transplantation. The proposed mechanism is induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes during chronic alcohol use, which may result in accelerated metabolism of acetaminophen and increased production of potentially hepatotoxic metabolites.
MANAGEMENT: In general, chronic alcoholics should avoid regular or excessive use of acetaminophen. Alternative analgesic/antipyretic therapy may be appropriate in patients who consume three or more alcoholic drinks per day. However, if acetaminophen is used, these patients should be cautioned not to exceed the recommended dosage (maximum 4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older).

phenyltoloxamine food
Applies to: Duraxin (acetaminophen / phenyltoloxamine / salicylamide)
GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.
MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving CNS-active agents should be warned of this interaction and advised to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

salicylamide food
Applies to: Duraxin (acetaminophen / phenyltoloxamine / salicylamide)
GENERALLY AVOID: The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss. The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.
