Drug Interactions between Myelo-Kit and Namzaric

GENERALLY AVOID: Intrathecal administration of iodinated contrast media may induce seizures. Although clinical data are generally lacking, there may be a theoretical risk of increased seizure potential when used with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI antidepressants or anorectics), monoamine oxidase inhibitors, neuroleptic agents, central nervous system stimulants, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, other tricyclic compounds (e.g., cyclobenzaprine, phenothiazines), and/or any substance that can reduce the seizure threshold (e.g., carbapenems, cholinergic agents, fluoroquinolones, interferons, chloroquine, mefloquine, lindane, theophylline). These agents are often individually epileptogenic and may have additive effects when combined.

MANAGEMENT: Drugs that can lower the seizure threshold should preferably be withheld for at least 48 hours prior to and 24 hours following intrathecal administration of iodinated contrast media, provided that temporary interruption of therapy does not pose an undue risk to the patient. Otherwise, close monitoring is advised during and after contrast administration. The manufacturers typically recommend avoiding concomitant administration of phenothiazines (including those used for their antihistamine properties), monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, central nervous system stimulants, and psychoactive drugs.
