Interactions between your drugs
lindane topical galantamine
Applies to: lindane topical and galantamine
Some of the medication in lindane topical can be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and produce seizures on rare occasions. The risk may be increased when used with other medications that can also cause seizures such as galantamine. This may be more likely to occur in very young children or the elderly; people undergoing alcohol or drug withdrawal; and those who have a history of seizures or a condition affecting the central nervous system such as a brain tumor or head trauma. Excessive or inappropriate use or accidental ingestion of lindane topical can also lead to seizures. Talk to a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns. You should follow closely the instructions for use of lindane topical given by the prescriber, and keep the product out of reach of children. Do not exceed the frequency and duration of use recommended on the product label or prescribed by the doctor. 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
galantamine food
Applies to: galantamine
Galantamine should be taken with food, and you should drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to reduce the severity of certain side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and/or weight loss. Extended-release formulations should be swallowed whole (i.E., do not crush, chew, or divide the pill) and are often recommended to be taken in the morning. You should speak with your healthcare provider before using grapefruit products (fruit, juice, supplements) with galantamine as they may increase the blood levels and side effects of galantamine. You should also contact your healthcare provider if you experience changes in your heart rate, seizures, difficulty breathing, trouble urinating, dizziness, fainting, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or unexpected weight loss. 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.
