Enlon-Plus and Alcohol/Food Interactions
There are 3 alcohol/food/lifestyle interactions with Enlon-Plus (atropine / edrophonium).
atropine Alcohol (Ethanol)
Moderate Drug Interaction
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.
atropine Alcohol (Ethanol)
Moderate Drug Interaction
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.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Minor Potential Hazard, Low plausibility
anticholinergics - hypertension
Cardiovascular effects of anticholinergics may exacerbate hypertension. Therapy with anticholinergic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertension.
