Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

atropine edrophonium

Applies to: Enlon-Plus (atropine / edrophonium) and Enlon-Plus (atropine / edrophonium)

Ask your doctor before using edrophonium together with atropine. Using these medications together can cause increasing muscle weakness. In addition, such use may mask the less serious, gastrointestinal signs of atropine overdose and lead to difficulty breathing, chest pain, and possibly death. If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests 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.

Moderate

atropine aluminum hydroxide

Applies to: Enlon-Plus (atropine / edrophonium) and Gelusil (aluminum hydroxide / magnesium hydroxide / simethicone)

Aluminum hydroxide may interfere with the absorption of atropine when taken orally at the same time. To minimize the potential for interaction, dosing of these medications should be separated by 3 to 4 hours, if possible. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take these or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medication you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

atropine magnesium hydroxide

Applies to: Enlon-Plus (atropine / edrophonium) and Gelusil (aluminum hydroxide / magnesium hydroxide / simethicone)

Magnesium hydroxide may interfere with the absorption of atropine when taken orally at the same time. To minimize the potential for interaction, dosing of these medications should be separated by 3 to 4 hours, if possible. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions on how to take these or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medication you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Drug and food interactions

Major

aluminum hydroxide food

Applies to: Gelusil (aluminum hydroxide / magnesium hydroxide / simethicone)

Citrate, or citric acid, can increase the absorption of aluminum hydroxide. This may lead to elevated blood levels of aluminum, particularly in individuals with reduced kidney function, since aluminum is primarily eliminated by the kidneys. Excess aluminum may deposit and cause problems in various tissues including bone, brain, heart, liver, muscles, and spleen. Over time, weak bones, bone pain, fractures, skeletal deformity, brain disorders, and anemia may develop. Talk to your doctor before using aluminum hydroxide if you have kidney impairment or are on hemodialysis. You should avoid or limit the consumption of citrate-containing foods and beverages (e.G., soft drinks, citrus fruits, fruit juices) during treatment with aluminum hydroxide. Be aware that some effervescent and dispersible drug formulations may also contain citrate and should be restricted as well. Even if you do not have kidney problems, it may be best to separate the dosing of aluminum hydroxide and citrate-containing products by 2 to 3 hours. Talk to a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns. 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.

When aluminum hydroxide is taken during enteral nutrition therapy (tube feeding), the tube may get clogged. Therefore, aluminum hydroxide should not be mixed with or given after high-protein tube feedings. The dose should be separated from the feeding by as much as possible, and the tube should be thoroughly flushed before administration of the dose.

Moderate

atropine food

Applies to: Enlon-Plus (atropine / edrophonium)

Ask your doctor before using atropine together with ethanol. Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking atropine. You should be warned not to exceed recommended dosages and to avoid activities requiring mental alertness. If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment to safely take this combination. 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 Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
