Interactions between your drugs

Major

methylene blue ZOLMitriptan

Applies to: Hyophen (benzoic acid / hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate) and zolmitriptan

Using ZOLMitriptan together with methylene blue is not recommended. Combining these medications may significantly increase the blood levels and effects of ZOLMitriptan, which in some cases can lead to excessive narrowing of blood vessels in the body. This can reduce blood flow to vital organs and increase the risk of rare but serious side effects such as high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and gangrene (death of tissues, usually in the arm or leg, that may require surgical amputation). Additionally, using ZOLMitriptan and methylene blue together can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome, which may include symptoms such as confusion, hallucination, seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, shivering or shaking, blurred vision, muscle spasm or stiffness, tremor, incoordination, stomach cramp, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Severe cases may result in coma and even death. In general, you should wait at least 14 days after stopping methylene blue before you start treatment with ZOLMitriptan. 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.
