oxtriphylline peginterferon alfa-2b
Applies to: Theocon Elixir (guaifenesin / oxtriphylline), peginterferon alfa-2b
Treatment with medications like peginterferon alfa-2b may increase the blood levels of oxtriphylline, which can lead to potentially serious and life-threatening side effects. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if you develop nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, headache, tremor, confusion, restlessness, insomnia, seizures, heart palpitations, and/or irregular heartbeat, as these may be signs and symptoms of excessive oxtriphylline levels.
